Mr Stewart Dickson: Assembly records
All of Mr Stewart Dickson’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 First Minister and deputy First Minister for their assessment of the role that the Commissioner for Survivors of Institutional Childhood Abuse has had in supporting victims of childhood abuse.
I thank my East Antrim colleague Danny Donnelly for bringing this important topic to the Assembly. Illegal drugs and the misuse of prescription drugs are serious issues across not just East Antrim but the whole of Northern Ireland. Rising addiction is not just an East Antrim issue. Cannabis, cocaine, synthetic drugs…
I thank the Member for giving way. I am curious about the Member's comment about his concern for people not receiving NHS dental care, when his sister party, Reform UK, has been calling for privatisation and insurance-based healthcare, including dental healthcare.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure why no public consultation took place before the installation of new shoreline barriers at Shore Road, Whiteabbey, despite their obstruction of views across Belfast Lough.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs how proposals within his Animal Welfare Pathway 2025-27 will benefit pets and their owners.
The opening words of the Member's winding-up speech were "illegal immigration": there is no illegal immigration in the United Kingdom until an individual has been determined by a due and legal process to be illegal, at which stage a process takes place to return them to the place that they came from. There are no…
Does the Member agree that, given the language that some Members are using in the debate, they would not have given an example of seven or eight males from a student background who move into an HMO, as regularly occurs across Northern Ireland? The implication, however, that the people who are moving into HMOs are from…
Minister, are you able to confirm whether your Department has conducted a regional skills-gap analysis across the trusts to ensure that those commissioned training places align with actual demand?
I will represent my party colleague Sian Mulholland, who has another engagement. She is a member of the Communities Committee. We welcome the motion. On behalf of the Alliance Party, I offer support not just for the motion but for the principles that underpin it: justice, openness and cultural respect. National…
Access to Dental Care That this Assembly expresses severe concern at the challenges many people experience in accessing dental care; notes the testimony from the British Dental Association that the shortfall between Department of Health fees for dentists and the cost of providing services means many dental practices…
Minister, do you agree that today is an important step forward in a reset of the relationship between the United Kingdom Government and the EU and that we need to and must go further in those relationships?
Minister, thank you for your statement. Given that GP practices that are run by trusts and those that have returned their contracts and have become GP practices that are organised by the trusts have their practice indemnity paid for them, does the Minister not see that there is a clear need to pay the indemnity costs…
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) Patient Support That this Assembly acknowledges the significant ongoing challenges faced by people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) to overcome both the day-to-day uncertainties of living with the condition and the stigma arising from the fact that it was, until recently, unrecognised…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether their Department has considered establishing a Citizens' Assembly as a venue for the public to explore institutional reform options, as outlined in the recently published Reform of Stormont report.
I thank Matthew O'Toole for bringing this important issue to the House this morning. The previous Conservative Government's dire mismanagement has left our immigration system in tatters. Public trust has been entirely shattered, so it was right for the Government to take steps to fix our broken immigration system and…
Cancer is not just a disease but a thief that steals time, futures and lives. Although cancer does not discriminate, our systems, sadly, do. They discriminate between those who get seen on time and those who do not and between those who survive and those who become a statistic. I know that, because I stood in those…
The situation in Gaza is getting worse every day. Tens of thousands of people have been killed; neighbourhoods have been destroyed; and over a million people have been displaced without access to food, water or medical care. That is an obscenity. My party has consistently supported the recognition of Palestine as a…
At the beginning of the debate, I need to make a declaration of interest. I am the chair of the Council for Democratic Elections, which is a constituent body of the Venice Commission — the international organisation that, through its independent experts, vets and verifies electoral law and electoral law changes. Both…
This week, as we mark the anniversary of Victory in Europe, we do more than just remember a military triumph. We commemorate the birth of a new Europe — a Europe built not on vengeance but on reconciliation; not on division but on a shared sovereignty and human rights. The end of the war in Europe in 1945 was not just…
New GP Contract and Pressure in General Practice That this Assembly expresses grave concern at the severe pressure facing general practice in Northern Ireland; welcomes the high-quality care delivered by GP surgeries, which provided an average of over 190,000 consultations per week in 2023-24; notes that despite the…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I appreciate the way in which you do allow Members to participate in Question Time, particularly how you have allowed Members to make, perhaps off-standing, comments, but perhaps, Mr Speaker, I could invite you to reflect on the behaviour of at least one Member today who certainly rose…
