Motion: Bonfire Regulation

Proposed:

That this Assembly notes that this summer has again seen illegal and unregulated bonfires on contaminated land, placed dangerously close to hospitals, and used as platforms for racist and sectarian displays; further notes that the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition report set out a framework to regulate bonfires including limits on the materials that can be used, the distance that bonfires can be placed from physical structures and the prevention of flags, emblems and election posters being displayed and burnt; and calls for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations to put in place bonfire regulations that prevents threats to public safety, pollution to the environment and attempts to spread hate.

Motion: Sectarian and Racist Intimidation from Homes

Proposed:

That this Assembly condemns all sectarian and racist attacks on individuals and their homes; recognises the need for elected representatives to speak clearly and unequivocally on behalf of the victims and to be responsible in the language they use in the aftermath of such attacks; expresses frustration at the ongoing delay by the Executive Office to bring forward a refreshed Good Relations Strategy as a successor to Together: Building a United Community to address sectarianism and racism through a whole-community approach; acknowledges that there is a housing crisis which requires urgent cross-departmental interventions to remove barriers to building more social and affordable homes; and calls on the Minister for Communities to outline what specific action his Department is undertaking to focus resources to deliver housing for all, based on the Community Safety Framework designed to protect people being targeted in their own homes.
