To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether she plans to extend the Translink concession pass criteria, to include those who have not been refused a driving licence but are unable to drive consistently, due to dynamic disability.
Pressure on PSNI due to Health System Failings That this Assembly expresses grave concern that failings in the health and social care system are forcing the PSNI to act as the service of last resort for those facing mental ill-health or other forms of health crisis; expresses further severe concern that the PSNI…
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 30928/22-27, (i) for an update on the report into the commissioning of ADHD services; and, (ii) to detail what date it will be published.

As chair of the all-party group on active travel, I will respond to today's Northern Ireland Audit Office report on active travel in Northern Ireland. Sadly, the findings were precisely what we expected. Under the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, the Department for Infrastructure is required to spend 10% of…
I support the motion, thank its proposers and look forward to the Minister's response. As my party colleague outlined, we in Alliance believe that an aviation strategy could play a vital role in creating jobs, promoting tourism and enhancing our public transport investment. At the outset, I feel that I should, like Mr…
I speak today as an Alliance Party spokesperson on infrastructure, as chair of the all-party group on road safety and as someone with family members who use the A5 daily. Since becoming an MLA in 2022, I have met a number of families who have, sadly, lost loved ones on our roads. Each family still carries the pain of…
I welcome today's motion and thank the Members who tabled it for debate. I have been involved in politics since 2013 and elected in some capacity since 2017. A phrase that I first heard when I was Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast was how we in Northern Ireland had "normalised the abnormal" across society here, and I fear…
Thank you, Minister, for your kind words. Thank you also for your response. I certainly share your views on the abhorrent scenes that we are seeing from East Belfast on social media. Racism and so-called vigilantism have no place in Northern Ireland's future. Minister, what is your assessment of the importance of a…
Mr McReynolds asked the Minister of Justice whether she will join him in condemning the disgraceful attacks on people in vehicles that have been reported in East Belfast recently, and that are being investigated as racially motivated hate crimes.
I thank the Minister for her response. I have been recently updated on the graduated licence scheme, strengthening drink-driving legislation and drug-driving legislation, both of which you have just mentioned, and an increase in fines for speeding. Minister, will you say in response now or maybe in writing — that is…
As an East Belfast MLA and chair of the all-party group on ADHD, I ask where the report on commissioning adult ADHD services in Northern Ireland is. In March 2024, thousands of people signed my petition calling on the Health Minister to urgently commission those essential services here. My inbox has become flooded…
Mr McReynolds asked the Minister for Infrastructure what road safety legislation her officials are working on, given that, in her response to Mr Kelly, she mentioned that road funding had been increased and will be used to reinstate campaigns.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Bonfire Regulation”
Bonfire Regulation - Amendment 3 Leave out all after “burnt;” and insert: ‘calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to show leadership by affirming that bonfires must be lawful, safe and respectful; and further calls on the Executive Office to establish and oversee a cross-departmental programme board to…
Rural Transport Needs That this Assembly recognises the valuable contribution the Community Transport Association provides to the rural population, particularly to people with disabilities; acknowledges the desirability of enabling volunteers to provide much needed access to community and public services; and calls on…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, of the total budget set aside for construction of the A5 Western Transport Corridor scheme during the 2025-26; and 2026-27 financial years, to detail what capacity there is to allocate some of this budget over that two-year period to road safety messaging.
