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.
Junior Doctors’ Pay That this Assembly recognises the valuable work of all staff within Health and Social Care Northern Ireland, as well as the unprecedented pressures facing our health and social care system; acknowledges that junior doctors are a vital element of the health system in Northern Ireland; notes that…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the specific aspects of the report of the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition they have taken forward since coming into office in February 2024.
I would really appreciate a list of the recommendations that are being taken forward, because I have seen no evidence that anything from the FICT report has been taken forward.
Does the Member agree that no Member should fear a consultation process, as outlined in the motion, that would give the wider public a say in whether these flags should be allowed to fly?
I thank the Member for giving way. I did not say that the commission agreed to a code of practice and that that is the purpose of the motion today. I pointed out where we did see that there was agreement in the report from the commission.
I beg to move Although we recognise that the amendment is well intended, we have some concerns that it rather misses the point of the motion, which is about what to do where local accommodation is not reached or where local accommodation is enforced rather than genuinely agreed. There are good examples, but there is…
Thank you, First Minister, for your statement. It sounds as though a lot of ground was covered and that it was all very positive, but, as has been indicated, there was a period in which the Council did not meet, during which we saw the passing of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023.

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the proposals being considered to improve access to Queen's University playing fields, Upper Malone, to ensure improved pedestrian safety and discourage the use of Dub Lane for access.
To ask the Minister for Communities what assessment his Department has made of the impact of rising utility costs to the viability of amateur sports clubs.
Maybe I misheard you earlier, First Minister, but did you say that there may be a point at which some of the contributions may go back, once a threshold is reached? I am conscious that the institutions should pay not just for the redress but towards the professional ongoing services that many victims and survivors…
I thank the Minister for the response. I am very conscious that time is marching on, and, like victims and survivors of other historical abuse, the people who have been campaigning for accountability, truth and justice are getting very fed up. You said that you were going to launch the consultation as soon as…
You will be aware, First Minister, that the institutions and the religious orders were put on notice in 2010. They have had 14 years to come forward with their contribution. Will you consider legal action if they do not come forward in a timely manner?
Ms Bradshaw asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, following the earlier question about the amount that each institution is contributing to the redress scheme, whether the First Minister is satisfied that the amount being asked of the institutions is adequate when compared with the cost to the public…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) to detail the long-term financial benefit for repairing roads with tarmac rather than with concrete; and (ii) whether this benefit varies depending on location.
I thank the proposer of the motion. It is a very important debate, and I concur with other Members' comments about its tone and sentiment To bring the motion to life, I will talk about a number of issues that I have dealt with as an MLA. I am very struck by how the motion mentions: "the intrinsic connection between…
