Mr Timothy Gaston: Assembly records
All of Mr Timothy Gaston’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Minister is misrepresenting what my amendment sets out to do. I will repeat it for the record: "where the Department considers it necessary to do so to safeguard the welfare or dignity of a prisoner, provided that the arrangements do not include the accommodation of a man"…
Thank you very much, Minister, for your intervention. I will sleep better tonight, knowing that you are not holding anything against me. I will draw my remarks to a close finally. To avoid being sidetracked, I am not minded to take any more interventions. I know that there are Members sitting on the Benches to my left…
FlaggedGender, sexuality, abortion and related social issuesCriteria met: Identity framing, Sectarian or communal antagonism, Dog-whistle messaging, Controversy escalation.
Thank you very much, Mr Burrows, for that timely intervention. That is a real-life example of something that took place, and it is an example of the dangers that can arise from the Minister not following —.
We have already heard the ideology train in full flow this afternoon. Let me be clear at the outset that amendment No 97 is based not on ideology but on biological reality and that those who will not support it are following their ideology and their vision of events. They are certainly not following the biological…
FlaggedGender, sexuality, abortion and related social issuesCriteria met: Sectarian or communal antagonism, Dog-whistle messaging.
Like all Members who have spoken, I pay tribute to victim A and victim B and to the courage that they have shown to ensure that justice was delivered. The two women had the courage to come forward to tell their stories and to seek justice after years of the most wicked and depraved abuse. We all need to acknowledge…
To ask the Minister of Health to provide details of the care provided to stroke patients who are not fortunate enough to spend time on a stroke unit, given the evidence that stroke patients have much better outcomes if cared for on a stroke unit compared to general medical wards.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any plans to increase the number of beds available in stroke units, given that around 4,000 people per year have a stroke and recent figures revealed that many patients do not gain admittance to a stroke unit at any point during their stay.
To ask the Minister of Health to detail any action being taken to improve figures relating to stroke unit admittance, considering that one of the targets of stroke care is that patients are admitted to a stroke unit within four hours of arriving at hospital.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail all grants, funding awards or service contracts awarded by her Department, its agencies and arm’s-length bodies since 1 January 2020 to organisations whose stated objectives include supporting asylum seekers, refugees, migrants, ethnic minorities, integration,…
I will try to keep my remarks brief this evening. Initially, I will talk to amendment Nos 10, 11 and 12. Fundamentally, one needs to ask what the scheme is for. I will start by looking at Gerry Carroll's amendments. I will read a passage from the letter that has been referred to today, which we received from the First…
Like the other members of the Committee have done, I start by thanking the victims and survivors who have engaged with the Committee throughout the process. Some of the lived experience that was relayed to the Committee was very challenging to hear. It was certainly heartfelt, and that came across. Those people spoke…
Public appointments to arm's-length bodies have been a matter of controversy in recent days, and rightly so. Back in April, we saw the appointment of former Sinn Féin Finance Minister Martin Millar to the board of Invest NI. Earlier this month, Peter Lynch joined him on the very same board. Members will be aware that…
FlaggedLegacy of the Troubles, victims and paramilitarismCriteria met: Dog-whistle messaging.
Updating the draft framework on race relations will make not one bit of difference to the tensions that currently exist in many working-class communities across Northern Ireland. At what point will the Northern Ireland Executive start listening to those communities and do something about the problem of illegal…
FlaggedImmigration, asylum, race, ethnicity and TravellersCriteria met: Sectarian or communal antagonism, Dog-whistle messaging.
Does the Finance Minister not accept that, to strengthen the position in the argument that he makes, this Executive need to get their own house in order before going and simply asking for more money? Look at what we have prioritised in this place: we have prioritised MLA pay and the A5 scheme that has blossomed and…
Certainly, there are elements of the motion that have merit and others that are misguided. You will find no dispute from me that Northern Ireland would be better off with an agreed Budget and a Government with a plan for not just the incoming year but the years ahead. However, I will make two observations about that.…
