Mr Paul Givan: Assembly records
All of Mr Paul Givan’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Member for his kind remarks on my position as Education Minister. I reassure him that everything I am doing at the Department is to act with the required urgency. That is why I have commissioned the capital investment strategy now. In my statement, I outlined the areas that the strategy needs to address.…
Before I make the statement, I want to associate myself with the remarks by the Member for North Antrim in respect of the principal of Dalriada School, Mr Tom Skelton. Since Mr Skelton's sudden passing, I have heard many tributes to him and learned of the very high esteem in which he was held in the community. I was…
I confirm that I am willing to take up the office of Minister of Education, and I affirm the terms of the Pledge of Office as set out in schedule 4 to the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
I now formally congratulate you, Mr Speaker, on being successfully elected to the position that you hold. I trust that you will give all Members of the House the latitude that you always wished a Speaker would give you when you were a Member and that, when the boundaries are tested, you will be forgiving. I have no…
I am pleased that we have reached the stage where we have a stable and sustainable basis on which to elect a Speaker and have the institutions back up and running. Two years ago, to the very date, I resigned. Something had to bring matters to a head, which is why my leader acted decisively at that time. Having secured…
I join Michelle O'Neill in welcoming Alex Easton to the Chamber and in offering, as we have done on behalf of the DUP, our condolences to him on the loss of his parents. I am delighted to see Dáithí and his family, Maírtín and Seph, with us here today. I know that last week in Newcastle will have been a difficult time…
The recall of the Assembly is another flawed and failed attempt to form a new Executive, and, each time, unionist Members and our mandate are disrespected. Power-sharing, if it is to mean anything, has to be about consensus and consent, not contempt, which is what we on these Benches have been subjected to on every…
To ask the Minister for the Economy why 2017 data was used to by Land and Property Services in the formation of the eligible property list for the rollout of Project Stratum by Fibrus in 2020.
To ask the Minister for the Economy what measures are being considered to allow those who reside on roads with new broadband infrastructure, as part of Project Stratum, to join the network even if their property address is not included.
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on what additional resources are being secured to assist a return to full service provision for those adults with learning disabilities who use day care services.
To ask the Minister of Health when a full return of services in day care placements, transport services and respite care for the learning disabled will take place.
On the cost of living, does he agree that the protocol prevents us from having the VAT reduction in Northern Ireland that the rest of United Kingdom will benefit from?
Today's recall is another attempt at majority rule and has no credibility as it comes from the party that kept these institutions down for three years. The public will see that hypocrisy from Sinn Féin for what it is. This is not a serious attempt to restore the principles of power-sharing and these institutions; it…
To ask the Minister of Finance to outline the process undertaken by Land and Property Services for public and third party notification of an adverse possession notice.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether Northern Irish meat can be taken into mainland Europe by motorhomes or caravans when travelling via the Republic of Ireland.
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on the awarding of the National Joint Council pay award for Housing Executive staff, as agreed in February 2022.
I, too, thank you, Mr Speaker, for your work as Speaker of the Assembly, not only in guiding 90 Members but in advising on private Members' Bills, one of which I had. I wish you well. The class of '98 has been reduced, with, I think, only three Members in the Chamber today who were here all those years ago. In October…
