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 qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Member for giving way. I am particularly interested in the Member's comments about a review of how education, specifically apprenticeships, fits into all this. Does she agree that, if the UK Government are serious about levelling up and putting additional funds into levelling up, they must include Northern…
Thank you, Minister. Will the Minister outline the Department's response to the Leonard Consultancy report on multi-agency risk assessment conferencing (MARAC) services?
Minister, you said that our prison officers have a clear duty to care for and to provide safety and rehabilitation for our prisoners. In addition to the increase in numbers, can you outline what specific supports are available for prison officers, who face a range of stresses and concerns at this time?
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the schools in East Antrim awaiting the completion of capital projects; (ii) the progress, status, and anticipated completion dates of these projects; and (iii) the current prioritisation ranking of these projects.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how he will ensure the additional 600 vehicle movements daily from the planning application LA03/2022/1109/F, concentrated during peak travel periods, does not exacerbate the existing safety issues at the A2 and Glenville Road junction, Newtownabbey.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether he was aware of planning application LA03/2022/1109/F for the redevelopment of 570 to 578 Shore Road, Newtownabbey, when considering the safety measures for the Glenville Road and A2 junction.
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I am pleased to speak briefly on the motion as a member of the Committee for Justice. By way of explanation, our Chairperson is unavailable today. I also add a word of congratulations to our former Deputy Chair, who has been appointed as a Minister and is thus no longer a member of the…
I thank the Minister for his answer; indeed, I got a similar answer from the divisional roads manager today. However, Minister, your answer and the divisional roads manager's answer are localised to that particular area and the number of vehicles. There was a further accident there yesterday. There has practically…
Following the last comment, Minister, in which you said that this is just one tool in the toolbox for delivery, what plans do you have to look at other things like self-build, co-ownership and, as you mentioned, the key role that the Northern Ireland Housing Executive has and should have in delivering homes for people…
I thank the Minister for his statement and look forward to meeting him later this week at the Balmoral show. I also welcome the statement in advance of the Balmoral show. It is an opportunity for Members to debate the issues here today. Minister, a lot of your statement was about building resilience. Will you tell the…
I thank you, Minister, for your statement and, particularly, for the good working relationship that you have with Minister McEntee. Will you outline how the Northern Ireland Prison Service cooperates and shares its good practice with the Irish Prison Service?
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. Given that the commission does not support the status quo with regard to flags and emblems on public property, and the fact that you have now had over four years since the initiation of that report in which to take action, what action will your Department actually take…
No. I will make progress at this stage. There is an onus on each of us, as MLAs, to be conscious of and abide by the ethical standards reflected in the principles and rules of the Assembly's code of conduct. It is also essential that there is accountability and that the House takes breaches of the code seriously. I…
In winding up the debate, it is my duty to remind Members of the importance of ensuring that the Assembly's standards regime is and is seen to be robust to maintain and enhance public confidence in the political system.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any steps they have taken to implement the recommendations and proposals of the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition Final Report, since 3 February 2024.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline any progress that has been made to provide traffic controlling measures at the junction between Shore Road and Glenville Road, Whiteabbey.
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. May I draw your attention to Thornfield House School in my constituency of East Antrim? It entered the school enhancement programme in 2018. I note that it is on your list of 10 schools today, but surely a school that entered that list in 2018 deserves special attention. It…
First of all, the storage proposal is for gas, not hydrogen, and that would require a new and fully explored planning application. I do not wish to be sensational, but I do not want a hydrogen bomb under East Antrim, thanks very much, Mr Nesbitt. The planning application is for so-called natural gas to be stored. It…
The Member will probably realise that, as a representative for East Antrim, I have a particular concern because we have two major projects that have been given approval in the constituency. One is gas caverns under Larne lough and the other is Cloghan Point, which is an oil storage depot. If Departments and Ministers,…
