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.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any consideration he has given to seeking to bring Housing Associations which receive public money under Freedom of Information legislation.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any steps he took during 2024 to explore the use of Shared Island funding to improve facilities for the playing of team sports.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister how long preparations to start the recruitment process for a new Commissioner for Public Appointments will take.
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. I want to pick up on your point about the anticipated reform of stroke services, the outcome of which will be subject to consultation. You will be aware that there was a pre-consultation in 2017 and a public consultation in 2019, and that an action plan with key actions was…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, excluding the establishment of a strategic oversight group, to detail any actions that will be taken to reduce traffic congestion in Belfast city centre before 21 December 2024.
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank everyone — all the members of the Women's Caucus steering group and other Members in the Chamber — for their contribution today, in particular the chair of the steering group, Claire Sugden. I know that the issue is and has been very close to her heart, including when she was the…
Apologies, Minister: I was not here for the start of your statement. I have a lot of constituents who are termed "property rich, cash poor" and will be concerned about the proposal to elevate the maximum capital value. Have your officials made an estimation of how much that would be in monthly rates for a household?
Like Deborah, I am feeling very smug because I got the train into Belfast yesterday, and it was nice that it was busy. Has the Minister considered lowering the cost of the fares from the park-and-rides into the city centre during this period?
The Alliance Party is very supportive of reform and transformation. First Minister, how can you ensure that the reform and transformation unit will have meaningful impact, given the fact that the different Departments are legally independent of one another?
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail any evaluations of the North Belfast Strategic Good Relations Programme that have been published since the 2018-19 financial year.
Thank you for the response. I am keen that, where new posts are created, there will be opportunities for Assembly staff members who have been here for many years, particularly in areas where there is under-representation. Is the Assembly Commission able to give an assurance that additional support will be put in place…
I am sorry: Liz and I spoke at the same time there. First, are the figures that you mentioned UK-wide or are they for Northern Ireland? Secondly, is there a role for councils in the environmental health space in the interim?
I support the motion and the amendment. The start of the motion refers to "greater regulation", but the issue is that, in many instances, there is, in practice, no regulation. The regulation of non-surgical procedures and products is effectively absent in Northern Ireland. Premises must register with their local…
I thank the Minister for his update. As a representative for South Belfast, I share the frustration of the school's leadership, which has been working on the project for 10 years. When does the Minister anticipate that the school will be built?
Minister, further to John Blair's question, can you outline what proportion of the Northern Ireland population is currently eligible for legal aid? How does that compare with elsewhere on these islands?
To ask the Minister of Health, in light of rising costs due to changes to National Insurance announced in the Autumn Budget 2024, to detail any new plans he is putting in place to assist recruitment and retention in the social care sector.
I thank the Minister. I appreciate that it is an operational matter, but I hear about it regularly in my constituency office. The issue is that residents feel not only that there is substandard work but that their complaints are not dealt with properly. What conversations is the Minister having with the Housing…
40th Anniversary of Nexus That this Assembly congratulates Nexus on the occasion of its 40th Anniversary; reaffirms its commitment to, and support for, actions to tackle all forms of sexual abuse and abusive relationships; and commends all those working to support people impacted by sexual abuse and abusive…
