Mr Peter Martin: Assembly records
All of Mr Peter Martin’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Member for his response. To be absolutely clear, I accept his comments about people perhaps not wanting to be identified specifically, but let me develop that argument a little bit. He could have asked, for example, "Do you live in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales?" and…
As we get further into the debate, I concur with some of my colleagues on this side of the House. My colleague from Upper Bann said at the start of the debate that it should be respectful. I will add to that and say that it should be honest and brave. Some of the crimes that Mr Tennyson, the Bill sponsor, highlighted…
FlaggedGender, sexuality, abortion and related social issuesCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.
Well, I will give you a chance to reorganise your papers there. Just as you reference puberty blockers, in clause 7(1)(c): "the intent is to affirm a sexual orientation or gender identity which the victim considers is, or may be, their sexual orientation or gender identity". In that instance — the Member may agree…
I thank my colleague for taking an intervention, which is on the defence in the Bill that we are now calling the "reasonableness defence". She touched on an interesting point that is worth widening a little. I do not think that parents would want to find themselves in a criminal court, using a defence of…
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. My understanding is that they set out to get 15 people to be part of the research that she refers to, which was commissioned by the Rainbow Project and others and paid for by the Department for Communities. They wanted to get 15 people from across Northern Ireland who had…
I thank the Member for giving way. The Bill sponsor mentioned the Equality Commission in his remarks. I tried to make an intervention, but it was not given on that occasion. Perhaps my colleague Mrs Dodds will clarify whether, insofar as she is aware, the Equality Commission supports the Bill. The Bill sponsor may…
To ask the Minister of Health (i) to detail the number of people who have been certified as severely sight impaired or blind following glaucoma, in the last five years; and (ii) whether any assessment has been made of the extent to which these cases could have been prevented through earlier diagnosis or treatment.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether there are any plans to ban or restrict the use of single use disposable BBQs.
I thank the Member for taking my intervention. Does he agree that, as the Minister rightly pointed out, the Department is under significant budgetary pressure when it comes to dealing with the issues that we raise with her in the Chamber weekly, such as potholes and road resurfacing? Does he agree that, if taking down…
When I read the title of the motion, I thought that Mr McGrath was going to be talking about Cyberdyne or Skynet systems or, perhaps, that he might even get on his feet and say, "I'll be back". Perhaps he is too young to know that cultural reference. I welcome the motion's acknowledgement that there could be…
Minister, the Construction Employers Federation (CEF) has recently stated that over 6,000 homes cannot currently be built in Northern Ireland. The Wastewater Infrastructure Group (WIG) reports that, if constraints continue, Northern Ireland's economy, based on GVA, will be a quarter of a billion pounds smaller over…
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any fasting guidance issued on the consumption of plain water before and during glucose tolerance testing during pregnancy, in each Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Education whether his Department has any plans to review guidance on pupil screen time in (i) nursery; and (ii) primary school, settings
To ask the Minister of Education whether his Department (i) endorses; and (ii) expects, individual healthcare plans to be used by schools for children with allergies.
