Comhairle Uladh Ulster Council G.A.A. 9th March 2021 Re: BHF CPR & Defibrillator Training Programme A chairde, Ulster GAA have been engaged with CPR and Defibrillator training programmes for over 10 years, with great success. We have worked with a number of service providers in this important area of work, including the British Heart Foundation. Most recently we have been involved in the promotion and roll-out of “Call Push Rescue” training to our youth members with the assistance of BHF. BHF are seeking the GAA community’s support in making it mandatory that such life-saving training is made compulsory in schools, so that survival rates for people in our community suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are improved to the levels of other countries where this training is rolled-out in schools. Please see a plea from Fearghal McKinney from BHF attached which outlines how the GAA can make their voice heard on this important issue. Please share this letter, and our social media posts on this matter with your members asking that they take a few short minutes to complete the online survey. Yours in Sport, Is mise, lea meas, Brian Mac Fhíobhuí Rúnaí/Chief Executive Officer CLG Comhairle Uladh Brian Mac Fhíobhuí, Rúnaí, Comhairle Uladh, 8-10 Sráid an Mhargaidh, Ard Mhacha 8-10 Market Street, Armagh, BT61 7BX Tel: 028 (048) 37521900 Email: [email protected] Web: www.ulster.gaa.ie Dear friends We're asking for your support to fill in a short consultation survey on making CPR training and defibrillator awareness compulsory in schools in Northern Ireland. Cardiac arrest is the ultimate medical emergency, occurring when someone’s heart stops pumping blood around the body and they stop breathing normally. The GAA community has been a leader in raising awareness of heart health with many clubs providing training in CPR. Colin McGrath MLA for South Down has introduced a Private Members’ Bill at the Northern Ireland Assembly to make CPR training and defibrillator awareness compulsory in post-primary schools. The bill is in the early stages with a consultation currently open to seek views on the proposed legislation. We know that in countries where CPR is more widely taught, there is often a higher survival rate from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Many more lives could be saved in Northern Ireland if every young person learnt life-saving CPR skills in school. Now is the time we can make our voices heard and let the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive know that we all want CPR training to be compulsory in post-primary schools. The consultation survey only takes a few minutes to complete and could make all the difference. The closing date is 16 March 2021. The Survey can be completed here https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/colinmcgrathcpr. We encourage you to share the survey with club members and your community to make your voice heard. If you want to find out how else you can support this campaign, you can contact BHF Northern Ireland directly on [email protected]. Many thanks, Fearghal McKinney, Head of BHF Northern Ireland. .

However, we know that the task force cuts across to some of its workload as well. Chris, we will allow you to give us some form of input, and we will move to questioning after that. I hand over to you. Mr Chris Stewart (The Executive Office): Thank you, Chair.

The Committee is specifically considering how the common frameworks programme will operate, how it will relate to other initiatives and how it could be reviewed and improved for the future. It will also look at the role of parliamentary scrutiny across the UK. Hopefully we can link up with the members of that Committee now, if the communications team can add everybody in. There are quite a number to add in there. If everyone who is on StarLeaf is able to mute themselves, they will not be competing to be seen on the main screen. Perhaps Elizabeth Andrews will unmute herself, if she is on. Baroness Andrews (Chair, House of Lords Common Frameworks Scrutiny Committee): Hello, Mr McGrath.

Flags (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) (No 2) Regulations 2020 Mr K Buchanan: I beg to move That this Assembly takes note of the proposed changes to the Flags Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 as set out in the draft Flags (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) (No 2) Regulations 2020. Mr Speaker: The Business Committee has agreed that there will be no time limit for the debate. The proposer of the motion will have up to five minutes in which to propose and up to five minutes in which to make a winding-up speech. All other Members who are called to speak will have three minutes. Mr Allister: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I am interested to know under what Standing Order Members are being restricted to three minutes? Standing Order 17 relates to speeches in the Assembly. Standing Order 17(4) says: "The Business Committee shall consult with the Speaker in order to establish the total time to be allocated to each debate". It does not bestow on the Business Committee the power to limit the Members who wish to speak to three minutes. It bestows only on the Business Committee, in consultation with yourself, the power to set the totality of the time. Where has the three-minute limit come from? Mr Speaker: The Business Committee considered the proposal. The Member will be aware that the Secretary of State has written to me. The Business Committee, then, decided to table the motion for a take-note debate. The unusual and interesting situation is that, whilst legislation in this House is dealt with by way of no-time limit on speaking rights, this legislation is not being dealt with or processed by the Assembly.

I have been part of the political champions group, which has met many of you on a regular basis and has heard first-hand the presentation that you are about to give. It is an excellent opportunity, and you are to be commended as a group of young people for stepping up and taking a leadership role in the community and asking the key questions about COVID and its impact on young people right across Northern Ireland. Without giving spoilers, you have had such a big response, which gives real validity to the presentation that you are about to give.
