Ms Sian Mulholland: Assembly records
All of Ms Sian Mulholland’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
Does the Member agree that, so often, those amazing community and voluntary sector organisations have to plug the gaps where our statutory services fail?
I do not think that there is a Member in the Chamber who would deny the vital role that the agriculture sector plays in Northern Ireland. The farming and agri-sector is the backbone of my constituency of North Antrim. It sustains families through a wide-ripple network of connected sectoral businesses that are not…
Does the Minister agree that conducting a departmental audit of the financial implications of poverty would allow each Department to ascertain where future savings could made through investment in the alleviation of poverty? Will he consider carrying out such an audit of his Department?
The 6·4% increase in Supporting People funding in this Budget is obviously very welcome. The community and voluntary sector plays a huge role in supporting people who are living with homelessness, but it is under increasing pressure, with some providers working on monthly budgets. What can the Minister do to support…
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the status of the implementation of the new waiver process for overpayments related to Welfare Supplementary Payments.
Thank you very much, Minister. As someone who lives in and represents a rural constituency, I was glad to hear the rural transport notion being picked up. What other engagement will the Minister have with rural communities to make sure that their issues are heard fully and understood by the Department in the…
I thank the Minister for his statement. It is exciting to hear his plans for an attempt to balance the imbalance. The plan references the importance of city and growth deals for subregional economic development. Will the Minister detail his conversations with the UK Government on plans to lift the pause on the…
I thank the proposer of the motion. I welcome the opportunity to speak on the matter. For me, it is unsurprising that, when we talk about mental health, we also have to talk about poverty. It plays a significant role in exacerbating the mental health challenges that we have discussed today. Around one in four children…
I was going to say that there are not that many landslides in Northern Ireland, so hopefully I will not be rebuked for talking about a different landslide. Minister, as you know, an entire farming community was cut off owing to a landslide on the Glenshesk Road. It has been nearly a year for that community, so can the…
Shared Island Youth Forum That this Assembly endorses the Shared Island Youth Forum's vision and values for a Shared Future on the island of Ireland; acknowledges the importance of the visions for sustainability, opportunity, wellbeing, culture and equality set out in the Forum's Outcome Statement; notes the Forum’s…

To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department has finalised a timetable for the necessary stages to complete the various policies and related action plan for Culture and Creativity policies.
To ask the Minister for Communities whether his Department has established contact arrangements and engagement processes for local councils to develop Culture and Creativity policies.
I feel that speaking on the motion is a bit of a full circle moment for me. As a youth worker in 2009, I came to the Building with groups of young people from Belfast YMCA's Youth in Government programme and then with young people from the Where is My Public Servant? programme to advocate and lobby for votes at 16.…
