All of Mr Phillip Brett’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, pursuant to AQW 36213/22-27, for his assessment of the comments by the PSNI surrounding the lack of co-operation by a publicly funded group in their investigation into the criminal damage at Belfast City Hall on Saturday 19 October 2024.
I thank the Minister for that update. Whether or not there is a policy in place that specifically allows Christmas release, the fact is that a murderer was released over Christmas, as was someone who was convicted of stabbing a pensioner in the head with a screwdriver. In my opinion and, I think, in the public's…
Policing in Northern Ireland works best when it serves the entirety of our community. Much of the public and political focus on that issue has been on the under-representation of certain sections of our community. That focus is important, but another issue receives far less attention in our media and is a growing…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on their work to secure a reduced VAT pilot scheme, to support the hospitality sector.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any differences in the level of fees paid by his Department to dentists carrying out NHS work, compared to Scotland.
To ask the Minister of Education, following a request from Belfast Model School for Girls on 16 January 2026, whether the Education Authority will provide a school crossing patrol guard.
To ask the Minister for the Economy, pursuant to AQW 36482/22-27, to detail the (i) nature; (ii) scope; and (iii) any proposals, contained within those discussions.
It was not an attempt to do that creatively at all, Mr Carroll. The point that I was making was that we are happy to support the event. I was just saying that I do not want to see a repeat of what we saw at the West Belfast Festival at the fleadh, because that would diminish everyone's standing in the community, given…
I often use my platform here to speak up for the great city of Belfast that I am proud to represent, for the cultural diversity that the city has to offer and for ensuring that our city continues to be the economic driver of our country. With that in mind, I welcome the opportunity to contribute to today's debate. It…
Does the First Minister stand over the claims by the Economy Minister and, indeed, her party's national chairman, who said in hundreds of thousands of leaflets that were delivered across Northern Ireland that the Bill would be introduced to the Floor of the Northern Ireland Assembly by January? We have 12 days left in…
The First Minister says that she wishes to see economic development at the site. If I take her at her word, she agrees with our position. Will she therefore commit to supporting our calls for the economic development of the site and oppose the creation of any shrine to terrorists there?
It is always a great pleasure to have the privilege of speaking in an Opposition day debate. I agree with some of the items in the motion tabled by the leader of the Opposition. That is about the need to agree a multi-year Budget. This party and I are clear that we want to see a multi-year Budget agreed by the…
Mr Brett asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, having read with interest the First Minister's social media post just before Christmas, which stated that she had met the Minister for the Economy and that the 'good jobs' employment rights Bill was progressing well and would be introduced to the Assembly in…
To ask the Minister for the Economy, pursuant to AQW 32828/22-27, to detail any updates her Department has (i) sought; and (ii) received on this issue.
To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 37765/22-27, to detail (i) any reason for the delay; (ii) his assessment of the impact of this delay on residents; (iii) a date for the demolition to start.
