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.
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. It is certainly welcome, particularly as you say that it will assist those who fall short of qualifying for pension credit. What action are you taking to tackle the broad issue of fuel poverty? Bearing in mind that giving £100 to pensioners in Northern Ireland, including those…
Minister, are you prepared to give an apology to the passengers who were unable to get trains on Friday evening due to the volume of traffic, at both the Northern Ireland international football match and the Belfast Christmas market at the City Hall? Will you issue an apology on behalf of Translink to those commuters,…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) the total cost to clean up the bonfire site at Prince Andrew Way, Carrickfergus, in 2024; and (ii) the cumulative cost of damage repairs to the site and adjacent areas in the last ten years.

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs how the EU proposals for a universal approach on the welfare of dogs and cats and their traceability will impact Northern Ireland.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Breaches of the Ministerial Code of Conduct”
Breaches of the Ministerial Code of Conduct - Amendment 3 Leave out all after second ‘cross-border cooperation’ and insert: ‘; and further calls on The Executive Office and the UK and Irish Governments to explore wider reforms to Northern Ireland’s political institutions, including steps to prevent one party from…
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. Given your — indeed, our party's — clear and unequivocal stated commitment to tackling climate change, will you set out the rationale for your decision to appeal the judgement that was handed down by the Court of Appeal in respect of the No Gas Caverns case in order to allay…
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. You will be aware that the independent review of education recommended the creation of a single managing authority: what action are you taking to bring that about in this mandate?
Minister, thank you for your answers so far on the statement. One of the issues that could not be dealt with in the statement is your negotiations with Treasury on the PSNI data breach, holiday pay and the McCloud judgement. Can you tell the House what action you are taking to ensure that those matters will not…
I first met Anna before I knew of her involvement in the politics of the Alliance Party in Northern Ireland. I met her when she was working for the Chinese Welfare Association and I was providing employment documentation support on behalf of the Labour Relations Agency to that organisation. There was definitely a ray…
In considering the extension, a careful balance needs to be struck between the thorough scrutiny and the timely progress needed for effective legislation, much as was reflected in the Committee Chair's comments. While I recognise the Justice Committee's valid concerns regarding the time required for proper review, we…
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. I appreciate that you have made some progress. Nevertheless, when you launched the project in May of this year, you did promise that an application process would be completed by the end of this year. Where are you with physical application forms for people?
I thank the Minister for his answer. Does the Minister agree that the separation of grey and foul water is an important aspect in the development of that infrastructure?
I support the extension of the provisions. They are essential for the efficient and modern delivery of our public services, particularly in the courts. Live link facilities have significantly improved access to our courts, allowing vulnerable individuals, as others have said, to participate without facing the added…
I thank the Minister for her statement. The Budget is certainly a curate's egg: it has been good for working people but, perhaps, difficult for businesses and, particularly, for the Assembly. The Minister has acknowledged that the Department of Justice has been underfunded for a number of years. While the Budget…
Minister, thank you for your statement. Commentary around the Burgess report has already been made today in your statement and in questions. Can you set out for the House your intentions on the potential publication date and the next steps for the Burgess report?
Mr Dickson asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to provide the House with his assessment of the contribution of waste water infrastructure to water quality issues in Northern Ireland.
Support for Occupational Therapists That this Assembly acknowledges Occupational Therapy Week 2024, from 4 to 10 November 2024; recognises the invaluable contribution made by occupational therapists in delivering holistic, person-centred care in all areas of the health and social care system, including improving…
To ask the Minister of Education to outline the measures he is taking to reduce bureaucracy within the Education Authority and the Department’s arms-length bodies.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to what extent they raised Northern Ireland's unique market access at the International Investment Summit, held on 14 October 2024.
As someone who has had the sad duty to report a number of animal cruelty cases in my elected lifetime, I believe that there is no question that those who commit acts of cruelty against animals should be fully accountable for their actions. However, while the intention behind the motion is commendable, we have to…
Minister, it was probably surprising that the existing kitchen facilities were not blown away in the recent storm. Is it not important, particularly given the role of Magilligan prison in rehabilitation and training, that the facilities train people for jobs and life?
I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, do you accept that the delay in progressing the project causes serious environmental issues at various bottlenecks and economic delays for constituents in East Antrim in particular, and that it restricts the future and enhanced use of the Belfast-Derry and Belfast-Larne…
