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.
The Minister will be aware, from a series of questions for written answer that I have submitted to him, of my concern about the disparity in funding between the two language bodies and the underfunding of Ulster Scots here in Northern Ireland. The Minister has made some progress on that through a further award to the…
I raise my deep concern at the rise in sectarian hate crimes aimed at the community of lower North Belfast. This weekend, my young teenage constituent Cooper Mason was set upon by a group of two dozen masked individuals armed with sticks and a knife. Cooper spent the weekend in hospital with a fractured jaw and broken…
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail what discussions she has had with HM Government regarding the £30 million investment for Northern Ireland through the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund.
To ask the Minister for the Economy for her assessment of the Competition and Markets Authority Subsidy Advice Unit Report on proposed subsidy to City of Derry Airport , which states the Department should have looked at the impact the award would have on the investment decisions of other Northern Ireland airports.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to explain why £8.9 million in funding for Economic Regional Growth Fund is no longer required, as outlined in her Department’s June Monitoring Round submission.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail why her End of Year Progress Report 2024-25 gives a green status to developing an Aviation and Route Development Fund, when one has not been produced.
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the rationale for not including the development of an Ulster Scots Policy in her End of Year Progress Report 2024-25.
Minister, the private rental market in my constituency of North Belfast is out of control. On a weekly basis, constituents who have been long-term tenants come to me because they have been evicted by their landlord to be replaced by tenants through Mears contracts. It is absolutely disgraceful. I see some Members…

Deputy First Minister, we often hear the line that political agreements need to be honoured. There was a clear commitment given by the UK Government to fund the work of the Castlereagh Foundation and, indeed, to restore Craigavon House. Does the deputy First Minister agree that they need to get on with doing so? Will…
To ask the Minister for the Economy, further to her letter to Executive colleagues, how much additional funding she has requested for Higher Education in the June Monitoring Round.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQW 27797-22-27, to outline why action could be taken by his Department at Willowbrook, Newtownabbey, but not at this location.
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the rational to refurbish, rather than to replace, the nursery modular building at St Bernard's Primary School, Newtownabbey.
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether her Department will engage with the UK Government to ensure Northern Ireland-based (i) aerospace; (ii) defence; and (iii) security, industries will benefit from the Strategic Defence Review 2025 commitment to increase defence spending.
My colleagues on the Public Accounts Committee are looking at that issue. Hopefully, the PAC will release its report soon and establish who has primacy. The Committee is keen to get into the detail of the discussions, and it will seek clarity and confirmation that there are not reductions in resource spending and that…
Minister, thank you for your statement. There was no mention in it of the Union connectivity review, however, or of the £5 million that was provided to Northern Ireland as a result. Why was that not discussed at the meeting? Do you have any update to give on the spending of that £5 million?
I pay tribute to Manchester United, Northern Ireland and, more important, North Belfast legend Jonny Evans, who this month retired from professional football. As a sometimes heartbroken fan of both Manchester United and Northern Ireland, I have followed Jonny's journey with absolute pride. Jonny made his debut for…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail an assessment of the disparity in funding allocated to the Ulster Scots Agency in comparison with Foras Na Gaeilge, under the Executive Office's remit for equality.
Well, well, well: the rigorous implementers have well and truly fallen out with themselves. Barnier's "Brady Bunch", who all went down to Dublin together to try to impose the current sanctions here in Northern Ireland, have now fallen out because, unfortunately, the Alliance Party, through wilful ignorance or…
