Ms Sinéad McLaughlin: Assembly records
All of Ms Sinéad McLaughlin’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
The motion asks this simple but important question: if the offices of the First Minister and deputy First Minister are equal in authority and responsibility, why do we continue to suggest otherwise through their titles? Under the legislation, the offices are appointed together, they exercise their powers jointly and…
The Member did not answer the last question that was posed by my colleague. A good few years ago, prior to his death, the former deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said that the offices were equal and the titles should be "joint First Minister". One time, at a dinner, he explained to me at great length the duties…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether her Department will carry out a traffic light assessment of the Bradley’s Pass junction, in the Foyle constituency.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they are aware of other international examples of Delivery Units, in which the head of government has chaired meetings of the work of the Delivery Unit.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any steps his Department is taking to increase the availability of respite provision for carers of children with severe learning disabilities, within the Western Health and Social Care Trust.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the rationale as to why he would not consider a gradation of the red flag system for breast screening services to ensure that those with a history of virulent breast cancer can be prioritised.
I thank the Women's Caucus for tabling the motion. Before I talk about the motion, as chair of the all-party group on UNSCR 1325, women, peace and security, I say that, on International Women's Day, we must remember the women of Sudan, Gaza and Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East. War is cruel, and women and…
I welcome the opportunity to speak on an issue that is fundamentally about opportunity, access and the future potential of our young people across our regions. We rightly acknowledge the positive work that has been undertaken to improve understanding between A levels and Leaving Cert qualifications. That progress…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I welcome the opportunity to make a winding-up speech on the motion. I thank Members for engaging robustly in the debate, albeit it veered in many different directions. My colleague Matthew O'Toole clearly outlined the significance of Ireland's presidency of the Council of…
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. It demonstrates how quickly things can change in the energy sector. Minister, given the escalation of violence in the Middle East and the 10% jump in oil prices this morning, and particularly in light of the fact that more than two thirds of our households rely on home heating…
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline how frequently single-let temporary accommodation used to house homeless individuals is formally inspected to ensure the properties consistently meet required safety and quality standards.
To ask the Minister of Justice whether she intends to introduce emergency legislation during the 2022-27 Assembly mandate, in order to address street drinking.
I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Second Stage of the Budget Bill as an SDLP representative for Foyle. The legislation authorises spending for the closing financial year but also allows us to address issues that have long-term consequences. One such issue is funding for the expansion of Magee campus in Derry…
The strategy promises affordability. Why does it not have any mechanism to include, manage or regulate fee increases? How can parents have confidence that it will not simply result in large amounts of public money being used to subsidise rising prices?
Thank you, Minister. I, too, look forward to that engagement. Although you have a subregional economic plan, including the development of local economic partnerships, those remain policy mechanisms rather than statutory obligations. Why do you believe that an approach that is based on discretion and short-term…
