Mrs Sinéad Ennis: Assembly records
All of Mrs Sinéad Ennis’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I agree that the figures are encouraging, Minister. It is important that we capitalise on that growth. Will you outline what actions your Department is taking to make sure that we can build on that growth to ensure that tourism numbers continue to rise and that we continue to see the economic benefits of tourism in…
Ms Ennis asked the Minister for the Economy to give her assessment of the importance of all-island tourism following the publication of new tourism statistics last week.

Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Tackling Waste and Inefficiency in Government”
Tackling Waste and Inefficiency in Government - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘value for money;’ and insert: ‘further notes the progress that is being made to reduce the number of agency staff by bringing outsourced aspects of recruitment back into the public sector from March 2027; notes the prioritisation of…
I thank the Member for giving way. It is absolutely disgusting to see the DUP and others parroting the US lie that this war is somehow about advancing women's rights, when no woman has ever been freed by US bombs. Perhaps when they are making their winding-up speeches, those Members can tell us what the murder of 150…
Minister, as you have said in your comments today, so many people here are struggling with the cost of home heating oil. Is the Minister wondering, as I am, why the Communities Minister is not here today to sit down with him and the rest of his Executive colleagues to figure out how he can best get that money out to…
Ms Ennis asked the Minister of Finance, in light of the British Government's announcement this morning, whether Members can take it, from his response to Mr Harvey's, which partly answered her own question, that the Communities Minister has not proactively contacted him to figure out how to most effectively get that…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail any plans his Department has to facilitate paid leave for Education Authority employees, who are also employed as Retained Fire Fighters, to enable them to attend mandatory training, as is the case for other services.
I thank the Member for her question, and I may require an extra minute. The Clerking and Member Support Office is leading the development of arrangements to support Member induction in the next Assembly mandate. The induction programme is intended to provide structured support for new Members from the outset, while…
As I said, those are the Assembly Commission's main considerations. We want to make sure that everybody who uses the Building feels safe and protected and considers it a welcoming place. We are continuing discussions. We want to have all the advice at hand before we make such decisions. That is the responsible thing…
The irony will be lost on no one that those who have never lifted a finger to advance women's rights are now painting themselves as the champions and protectors of women. As a woman who uses and works in this Building, I can tell you that I have never felt unsafe in it.
The Member will know that I am not here to give my personal opinion; I am here to answer on behalf of the Commission. As I said, there are differing views among the members of the Assembly Commission, as there are across the House. I assure the Member that we are keeping all of this under review. We will return to it…
With your permission, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle , I will answer questions 1 and 4 together. I thank the Members for their questions. On 26 April 2025, the Supreme Court issued its judgement on For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, which held that the terms "man", "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act…
Reform of the institutions and how we do government is absolutely required. Sinn Féin unequivocally supports the need for a real and meaningful package of reforms to be brought forward by the two Governments, in partnership, of course, with the parties in the Assembly. What the SDLP has proposed today, however, is not…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Equalising the First Minister and deputy First Minister Titles”
Equalising the First Minister and deputy First Minister Titles - Amendment 1 Leave out all after ‘responsibility;’ and insert: ‘believes that altering the titles alone does not address the deeper structural issues within our institutions requiring reform; notes that public confidence in devolved government depends on…
The people of Warrenpoint have been without a modern, fit-for-purpose community hub for over 20 years. That long wait ended when planning permission was finally granted for the new Warrenpoint community health and well-being hub last week that will see £7·3 million invested in my community. My colleague councillor…

Committee Membership That Mr Declan Kearney replace Miss Jemma Dolan on the Committee for the Economy; that Miss Jemma Dolan replace Mr Pádraig Delargy on the Public Accounts Committee; and that Mr Pádraig Delargy replace Mr Declan Kearney on the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee.
Thank you. I hear what the Minister says, but does he not accept that that was not a condition when Casement was announced along with the other two stadia? To impose it retrospectively is not equality; it is not fair.
I suppose that I should declare an interest as a member of Saint Mary's GAC, Burren. Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I tell you what: irony is well and truly dead. The motion comes from the TUV, which, by its own admission, could not care less if Casement was ever built, yet the Member comes to the Chamber demanding…
