Ms Paula Bradshaw: Assembly records
All of Ms Paula Bradshaw’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Thank you for your response, Minister. I am a little concerned, because the houses that I referred to are not just anticipated but are being built and occupied. There was some talk about a new school in the mid-Down area. Is your Department actively involved in pushing for a new build for the people of that area?
Minister, you will be aware of the disparity in access to support services for children with special educational needs that exists for non-statutory preschool settings? How will you ensure that no child misses out on access to the right support?
Ms Bradshaw asked the Minister of Education to provide an update on any future additional post-primary provision for the community in Four Winds and Carryduff in her constituency, where hundreds of houses continue to be built that are very attractive to young families, who will inevitably require such provision.
Extension of Sitting on Monday 1 June 2026 under Standing Order 10(3A) That in accordance with Standing Order 10(3A), the sitting on Monday 1 June 2026 be extended to no later than 9.30pm.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 45601/22-27, to detail the number of unauthorised flags on property owned by her Department that have been removed, subject to reporting to her Department's Report a Fault line, since the restoration of the Assembly in February 2024.
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. As someone who is bringing forward a private Member's Bill, it is my understanding that John has followed every part of the Standing Orders and the procedures outlined by the Speaker's Office in support of the recommendations of the Bill Office at every stage.…
Can you update the House on the plans to redevelop the former school of music in Donegall Pass? I want to pick up on a phrase that you used: "capacity building". Is any financial support going to the programme sponsors to ensure that they get the right mix in that building?
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any consideration his Department has given to extending the Bright Start School Age Childcare Grant Scheme beyond one year.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any assurances he can provide to parents who rely on school-age childcare providers supported through Bright Start School Age Childcare Grant funding beyond June 2026.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he has met the Irish Language Commissioner and the Commissioner for the Ulster Scots and the Ulster British tradition concerning strategies for languages, culture and tradition.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department has issued any guidance to sporting organisations on managing situations involving separated parents, including circumstances where a civil order is in place against one or both individuals.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any steps his Department is taking to safeguard children and young people participating in sports settings.
I do not intend to speak for long on this group of amendments. As a party, we will support all of them, but I want to make some remarks about amendment No 39, which is to clause 39 and states: "The arrangements may include provision for the Service to meet the cost of legal advice or assistance". Junior Minister, the…
I thank the junior Minister for giving way. Does she acknowledge the despair and harm that were caused when members of the consultative forum were first presented with the Bill and that date of 29 September 2011? You have had months to go back to that consultative forum and present an alternative date, which could…
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Further to your interjection during Mr Gaston's contribution, and given the huge sensitivity around the refusal by the Speaker to accept the Committee amendment, I ask that you convey to the Speaker the fact that we would appreciate some transparency in relation to his decision…
Thank you. The amendments in group 2 specifically relate to: "Truth Recovery Redress Service: Entitlement to payment and amount to be paid". As I said, amendment Nos 26 and 27 will not be moved. With your indulgence, Mr Deputy Speaker, I want to refer to an amendment that the Committee proposed that related to the…
I thank the Minister for giving way. As we know, the proposal came from Gerry Carroll, and I am very sympathetic to it, not least for the women who were born and then, years later, readmitted to give birth. My understanding is that there is only a handful of them. I fully take your point that, if people move between…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. This group of amendments relates specifically to Part 1 of the Bill, which establishes the truth recovery public inquiry. I thank Members who have contributed to the debate on this group of amendments. Contributions have reflected a shared commitment to ensuring that the inquiry, most…
I thank the Member for giving way again. He and other Members will be aware that there has been a long-running process through which victims and survivors have given testimony to the truth recovery independent panel. They were engaged in that process on the understanding that they could make written submissions and…
I appreciate that neither of you is on the Committee, and I apologise for jumping in, but we think that that could be some sort of memorandum of understanding that includes — I do not think that this has been mentioned today — the PSNI and other police services when it comes to any information that they have about…
