Mr Pat Sheehan: Assembly records
All of Mr Pat Sheehan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 50507/22-27 and AQW 46184/22-27, for an update on any subordinate legislation he intends to bring forward before the end of the 2022-27 Assembly mandate.
On a point of order, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Maybe I misheard you earlier: I thought that you said that the debate was not a wider debate about gender identity. Everything that the previous Member to speak said —.
I thank the Member for giving way. Rather than being more strategic, the DUP has become more refined in its arguments. Basically, it is the same as when I was a young lad and we had the campaign to "Save Ulster from Sodomy". It is basically the same thing, is it not?
Teacher Workload Dispute To ask the Minister of Education to outline any action he will take to resolve the teacher workload dispute, following the announcement that teaching unions will begin industrial action short of strike on 28 September 2026.
On a point of order, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. In the amendments to the Bill, there is no mention of special schools. The Member is drifting off the subject.
I beg to move amendment No 1: At the outset, I thank the Bill Office for its support throughout the process. In particular, I thank Stephen Orme — I hope that I have not embarrassed you, Stephen — for his support and expertise in getting us to this stage. I also thank the Chair and members of the Education Committee…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail how the availability of specialist provision in neighbouring schools, including Specialist Provision in Mainstream Schools, will be taken into account when determining Temporary Variation requests under the proposed revised policy.
To ask the Minister of Education whether any assessment has been made of the potential impact of the proposed changes to the Temporary Variation Policy on schools serving areas of high social disadvantage.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail how the proposed presumption in favour of approving Temporary Variation requests will operate alongside the existing area planning process, including any assessment of sustainable schools and surplus places.
To ask the Minister of Education whether any assessment has been made of the potential impact of the proposed changes to the Temporary Variation Policy on the enrolment and financial sustainability of neighbouring schools.
To ask the Minister of Education, in relation to all Temporary Variation requests received, to detail (i) the school; (ii) the school's management type; (iii) the number of additional pupils requested; (iv) the school's Free School Meal Entitlement percentage; and (v) whether the request was approved or refused, in…
Mr Sheehan asked the Minister of Finance, after stating that there has been a considerable lobby from the hospitality sector for a reduction in rates, whether he is supportive of such a reduction.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) whether, under the revised statutory School Uniforms Guidelines, all schools will be required to include trousers as a standard uniform option for girls; and (ii) whether the option is only required to be made available following a request from a pupil or parent.
The teachers engaged with the Minister's workload review. They then responded to the so-called action plan. They have now voted overwhelmingly for industrial action. When will the Minister accept that the problem is not that teachers have not made their views clear but rather that he is not listening to them?
Sciurdann éan as gach ealta agus is fíor sin i gcás Yuval Abraham agus Rachel Szor, beirt iriseoirí as Iosrael. Rinneadh scannán de chuid na beirte sin a léiriú den chéad uair ag Féile Scannán na Veinéise an tseachtain seo caite. ‘NAZA’ an teideal atá ar an scannán acu. Baineann ceannairí míleata in Iosrael úsáid as…
I suppose that, when the First Ministers of the North, Scotland and Wales organised that meeting, they did not anticipate the level of meltdown among unionists here, but there you go. I suppose that Donald Trump's utterances have added to that. I noticed that Jonathan Buckley got his photograph taken down at the golf.…
