To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) any consideration that has been given to the fact that backdated payments from the Education Authority pay settlement will impact some workers' Universal Credit entitlements; and (ii) how he will address this issue.
The Minister rightly identified educational underachievement as a major issue. In his answer, he mentioned the RAISE programme. However, there seems to be an anomaly in the RAISE programme, insofar as some of the big, well-known grammar schools in the leafy suburbs can access the funding, but Bunscoil an tSléibhe…
Rinneadh Lá Idirnáisiúnta an Daonlathais a cheiliúradh inné. Tá feidhm ríthábhachtach ag an aos óg sa daonlathas a chur chun cinn. Ní mór dúinne, mar pholaiteoirí, bheith ag éisteacht leis an mhuintir óga, nó is iadsan a bheas thíos, nó thuas, leis na dlíthe a dhéanaimidne inniu. Caithfear a chinntiú go mbeidh…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. One area of concern around the action plan is the fact that there was no funding support for fishermen who saw a drastic cut to their income last year and are probably facing an even more dire situation this year. Does the Minister have any plans to introduce emergency…
As my party's spokesperson on education, it is with that particular focus that I want to address the debate. There are not enough resources available in the education system to deliver the level of service that we want and expect for our children and young people and for those charged with educating and nurturing…
Inniu an Lá Idirnáisiúnta chun an tOideachas a Chosaint ar an Ionsaí. Is ceart bunúsach é an t-oideachas, ceart nach raibh i dtólamh ar fáil sa tír seo, ach anois, ceart atá neamhiontach againn anseo in Éirinn. Ní hamhlaidh i go leor tíortha eile, áfach. I dtrátha an ama seo anuraidh, bhí breis agus 625,000 mac léinn…
To ask the Minister of Finance to outline what representations she has made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer regarding the budgetary position in relation to making public sector pay awards.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail how his Department plans to (i) deliver climate education in schools; and (ii) decarbonise the schools estate in line with the Executive's net-zero targets.
Opposition to Racism That this Assembly condemns the criminal damage and targeting of businesses in recent days; rejects all forms of Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism; endorses the work of voluntary sector organisations combatting racism and supporting those impacted by it; recognises the work of the Police Service…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the criteria used to select schools to participate in the RAISE Programme; (ii) how the various aspects of that criteria were weighted; (iii) whether the eligibility criteria was based on objective need; (iv) the data used to inform the selection of schools for…
Does the First Minister agree that holding Euro 2028 in a state-of-the-art Casement Park is an unprecedented economic opportunity on which we cannot afford to miss out?
Proper Funding for Effective Public Services That this Assembly recognises that years of British Government austerity and underfunding of the Executive has seriously undermined our public services in many areas, including health, housing, and education; notes its endorsement of the letter sent to Prime Minister Sunak…
I doubt that there is anyone on the island who has not been affected by cancer either directly or through a family member or friend being diagnosed with cancer. Great strides have been made in preventative measures, early diagnosis and the treatment of the disease, but a diagnosis of cancer is still guaranteed to…
An tseachtain seo beimid ag ceiliúradh Sheachtain na nDídeanaithe anseo in Éirinn agus ar fud an domhain. Is é téama na seachtaine i mbliana: an baile s’againn. Le linn na seachtaine, beidh imeachtaí múscailte feasachta, imeachtaí cultúir agus imeachtaí ealaíon ar siúl ó cheann ceann an oileáin. Níor mhiste dúinn…

Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. Can the Minister tell us the aim of the road safety strategy?
Rinneadh Lá Domhanda na nAigéan a cheiliúradh Dé Sathairn. Bíonn an lá sin ann gach bliain lena chur i gcuimhne do gach duine an tábhacht a bhaineann leis na haigéin. Is iad na haigéin scamháin an domhain. Tig breis agus 50% den ocsaigin atá againn ó na haigéin. Is iontu fosta atá bunús na bithéagsúlachta ar domhan.…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a fhreagra. The Minister will be aware that, over the past number of years, there have been a number of scandals in the health service. As well as the hyponatraemia scandal, we have had the Muckamore Abbey Hospital debacle, the blood contamination scandal and, of course, in the…
Mr Sheehan asked the Minister of Health whether he has any plans to introduce an individual duty of candour, which was one the key recommendations from Justice O'Hara's inquiry into the hyponatraemia scandal.
