Lord Elliott: Assembly records
All of Lord Elliott’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 First Minister for that update. Is there any time frame for progress or for when the site might be further developed, particularly when making the controversial aspects of the previous plan not controversial?
I thank Mrs Erskine for proposing this topic for the Adjournment debate. We are concerned about pollution at any level. I do not think that Lough Erne has got to the stage that Lough Neagh is at, but there is always a danger of it progressing that way. Of course, in Lough Erne, we have a totally different type of…
The Minister mentioned projects and programmes that are under way. Are targets built into those projects and programmes? If so, are they being met at the moment?
I thank the Minister for giving way. He mentioned the South West Acute Hospital, which has the facilities to develop further and help to decrease those waiting lists. Will he ensure that it is utilised to its full potential in any future plans?
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. As always, it has been a useful debate. I will start with two contributions. The first was from Kate Nicholl, and Matthew O'Toole followed that contribution. Both of them talked about the arrangements being mutually agreed between the EU and the UK, and Mr O'Toole highlighted…
I thank the Minister for his answer. I declare an interest as the chair of a Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) football club. I welcome the Minister's progressing of The Northern Ireland Football Fund. A business case fund, which seemed to form an element of The Northern Ireland Football Fund, was launched by…
I thank the Member for raising the matter. I have heard very few people say that Casement Park should not be redeveloped. I am not saying that. What I am saying is that it should be developed on the basis that it was to be developed, but let me be blunt and fair: there is no endless pot of money to redevelop it on the…
I have a quick question about responses by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) to planning applications where ammonia is an issue. Those responses seem to have been delayed again and again. Is there any update on the situation being progressed or getting any better?
I thank the Minister for the update. Is the Minister working with other jurisdictions to try to cut out and stamp out online bullying? Is there any cooperation from the owners of websites?
I thank the Member for giving way. I wonder why he thinks that there would be a policy to undercut Health to such an extent. The concept that he has come up with is an interesting one, and I am trying to think of the theory behind it. If that were the case, it would be detrimental to the whole of community and society…
I thank the Minister for the statement and for briefing the Deputy Chair of the Committee and me this morning. The Minister mentioned the setting up of an enforcement task force. Given previous experience, that will be seen as a farmer-bashing mechanism. What assurance can he give us that that will not be the case?
I thank the Minister for that. I note that he has visited the South West Acute Hospital in the past, but now may be a good time for him to update his knowledge. I invite him back to the South West Acute Hospital in the near future, if he will accept that invitation.
I understand and recall that a support package in the region of £70 million was announced earlier this year. Will the Minister provide us with information or an update on how much of that was for self-directed payments?
I thank the Minister for bringing this to our attention. There was quite a bit in his statement about the Loughs Agency, which, I know, was working on a project with the Forest Service. There seem to be some difficulties around mapping the forestry areas: is that anything to do with the projects that he mentioned?
I thank the Minister for bringing this forward. Have there been any discussions around the illegal dumping of waste in Northern Ireland that emanates from the Republic of Ireland: for example, at Mobuoy? I know that there is potential for the repatriation of that waste.
Today's debate is interesting. It focuses very much on academic students in Northern Ireland and those who leave here, but I will touch on something that Mr Honeyford raised, and that is the issue of apprentices and those who take on a vocational career. They are equally as important to society as those who choose the…
As the chairman of a local club, I welcome the Minister's announcement about investment in local football. At what stage are the business case projects for the funding that was announced on 2 October 2023? Funding seems to be being allocated to senior clubs.
I welcome today's debate. Cancer is something that affects every family in the community. Cancer research is a significant aspect of efforts to improve the lives of many. It goes without saying that cancer is one of our greatest health challenges. It causes immense concern and suffering and, sadly, cuts short far too…
The Minister indicated that there is no preferred option in the draft strategy. Has he estimated the costs of the options that will be published in it?
