All of Mr Pat Sheehan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
The Global Samud flotilla is made up of 500 activists from 44 countries in 40 vessels. It was trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza and the Israelis' use of starvation as a weapon of war. The flotilla was carrying baby formula and medicines for children who are being starved and whose mothers cannot feed them…
I thank the Minister for giving way. One of the reasons why we are so sceptical is that there was so little integrity in the process. The only real integrity in the whole process came into it at the Committee Stage, because we were misled on a number of occasions. We were told that guidelines were imminent and that…
The issue of guidelines has been raised on a number of occasions during the debate. The content of the guidelines will be critical, because that is what will ultimately dictate whether the Bill will make any difference to hard-pressed families. As a member of the Education Committee, I place on record again my…
You mentioned in your response to Nick that this is about identifying outliers, but the Bill should not be about identifying outliers. The outliers, of course, should be tackled to make sure that they make their uniforms affordable, but quite a few more schools than just the outliers need to be brought to a position…
I take the opportunity to speak in opposition to amendment Nos 5 and 8 and in support of amendment Nos 1, 7, 9, 10 and 11. Two weeks ago, at Consideration Stage, the Assembly supported measures that gave the Bill some teeth. Throughout our scrutiny of the Bill in Committee and as we engaged with the public, families…
Tarraingíodh siar na himeachtaí dlí in aghaidh Liam Óig Uí Annaidh, feibh is cóir.

Arís eile, sheas Feisirí de chuid Shinn Féin i gcuideachta na gcéadta eile taobh amuigh den…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail if his announcement on bursaries and financial support for certain trainee teachers will apply to those studying to become primary school teachers in the Irish-medium Education sector.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail if consideration has been given to extending his plans for bursaries, and other financial support, to trainee teachers who have already begun their studies.
Thanks for giving way. You should focus on your party and its role in importing a massive amount of weapons that were used to kill innocent Catholics. Your party formed that organisation.

Go raibh maith agat, a LeasCheann Comhairle. Our thoughts are very much with the victims of the conflict on days like today. Those families who refused to be silenced have forced this British Government to recognise that the cruel and callous Legacy Act needs to be repealed and replaced. The key test of the intent of…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the projected cost of the Initial Teacher Education Bursary Scheme, in each of the next five financial years; (ii) how the £8.2 million investment will be allocated across participating subjects; and (iii) the projected number of bursary places available in each subject…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail what consultation has taken place with Irish-medium stakeholders in developing the Initial Teacher Education Bursary Scheme.
To ask the Minister of Education to outline how the Initial Teacher Education Bursary Scheme will be aligned with wider workforce planning for Irish-medium education, including the recruitment and retention of appropriately qualified special educational needs support staff.
The First Minister will no doubt have seen the report that was issued through the UN Human Rights Council. It provides definitive confirmation that the Israeli state is engaged in genocide against the Palestinian people. Does the First Minister agree that the international community must take a principled stand…
“Scríobhann sí m’ainm orm ionas go mbeifear ábalta mo ghéaga a bhailiú má bhuamálann siad muid.” Sin na focail a chan cailín óg ó Gaza sa ghearrscannán ‘Soft Skin’. Bhí páistí scoile in Gaza ag caint sa scannán ar an nós atá anois ag máithreacha in Gaza. Scríobhfaidh na máithreacha ainm an pháiste ar lámh nó ar chos…
There was a Palestinian state in existence before the Balfour declaration and a Palestinian state there before the establishment of an Israeli state. In one sense, the Palestinian people do not need affirmation from the British Government that there is a legitimate Palestinian state. However, all we can hope is that…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail why a senior official from his Department advised members of the Committee for Education at the meeting of 28 May 2025 that draft guidelines pertaining to the School Uniforms Bill would be made available to the committee prior to the summer recess.
