While we didn’t choose to be here, it actually gives you an opportunity to make change, for good. It is your chance to take a stand against scandals, such as RHI, NAMA, Red Sky and links to paramilitaries. It is your chance to say enough is enough to the division that holds us back and costs us more per year than all of these other scandals put together. That division won’t go away if we keep voting along orange and green lines. We need to vote for people who will bring us together and make us stronger. Our last manifesto – released only nine months ago – was a five-year plan to transform our Government and our community. In the last eight months, we made real progress towards delivering that promised change and we have highlighted some of those achievements in this document.

  • Improving Access to Politics and Public Life for Disabled People

    Improving Access to Politics and Public Life for Disabled People

    6 August 2020 PRESS RELEASE Improving access to politics and public life for disabled people People with hearing loss will be able to take a fuller part in public life with the installation of new videoconferencing facilities at the Northern Ireland Assembly. Strangford MLA Kellie Armstrong has championed the cause of inclusion for deaf and those with partial hearing. She has 40% hearing, wears hearing aids in both ears and lip reads. She came to the Equality Commission for help in putting her case for these arrangements to accommodate her needs to the Northern Ireland Assembly Commission. The Assembly Commission has recently upgraded its videoconferencing technology for use in Assembly Committee meetings. This will make it easier for MLAs and witnesses to join remotely and for deaf people to more easily participate. It has also issued guidance for witnesses appearing on remote link and for MLAs and others about how to use the new technology so that deaf people can follow proceedings. Ms Armstrong said: “I am really pleased with these arrangements which will benefit everyone with hearing difficulties. This is a step which has proved particularly useful during the Covid-19 pandemic but will still be useful in months and years to come. I believe that it’s a step forward for inclusion of deaf people and those with partial hearing and I’m grateful to the Equality Commission for its help in liaising on my behalf with the Assembly Commission to highlight particular needs of deaf people and those with partial hearing and to the Assembly Commission for incorporating these needs into its project, which had already commenced.” An Assembly Spokesperson said: “We are proud of our track record in enhancing and promoting the role of people with disabilities in public life, which is recognised through initiatives such as our Louder than Words charter mark.

    OFFICIAL REPORT (Hansard)

    Committee for Infrastructure OFFICIAL REPORT (Hansard) First-day Briefing: Ms Nichola Mallon MLA, Minister for Infrastructure 5 February 2020 NORTHERN IRELAND ASSEMBLY Committee for Infrastructure First-day Briefing: Ms Nichola Mallon MLA, Minister for Infrastructure 5 February 2020 Members present for all or part of the proceedings: Miss Michelle McIlveen (Chairperson) Mr David Hilditch (Deputy Chairperson) Mr Roy Beggs Mr Cathal Boylan Mr Keith Buchanan Mrs Dolores Kelly Ms Liz Kimmins Mr Andrew Muir Witnesses: Ms Mallon Minister for Infrastructure Mrs Katrina Godfrey Department for Infrastructure The Chairperson (Miss McIlveen): I welcome the Minister to the Committee, along with Katrina Godfrey, permanent secretary. You are both welcome. You are obviously no stranger to Committees either, although, I suppose, it has been a little time since you have been before us. Mrs Katrina Godfrey (Department for Infrastructure): Absolutely. The Chairperson (Miss McIlveen): Minister, you may want to make an opening statement. I am mindful of the fact that you are just new to the post and have probably been thrown into the deep end and had to face a crisis that you certainly did not predict. I am conscious and, maybe, worried in some respects that you may not have received full information from officials in advance of this. I suppose it raises the question of whether there are other areas that you or other colleagues were not fully briefed by officials on either, but we are where we are. You are welcome to the Committee. If you would like to make an opening statement, members will follow up with questions.
