Former UUP MLA for West Tyrone ( 6 May 2011 – 26 Jan 2017)
Did you mean loss hussey?
Declan McAleer: ...and commend Thomas Buchanan for tabling the Adjournment debate. One of the features of West Tyrone and, I am sure, many other constituencies is that there has always been a collegiate approach across all parties when it comes to health issues. That has been the case throughout my experience. Previously, Ross Hussey and Barry McElduff were very much part of the team here in trying to...
Mike Nesbitt: ...have said, and it predates NDNA and goes all the way back to 1998. The Ulster Unionist Party has been consistent in its support for the figure of 7,500. My colleagues Doug Beattie and, before him, Ross Hussey, who preceded me on the Policing Board, and probably members before that, were supportive of that figure. It is interesting to note, almost in passing, that Chris Patten did not...
Danny Kennedy: I wish to inform the Assembly, as required by Standing Order 79(4), that Mr Ross Hussey has given notice of his resignation as a member of the Assembly Commission with immediate effect. Adjourned at 11.16 pm.
Ross Hussey: I begin by passing my best wishes to the police officer who was seriously injured last night and to his colleagues in the Police Service of Northern Ireland. There is no doubt that we will all condemn this murderous attack, which could have resulted not only in the death of a police officer but of civilians, as was highlighted by my colleague Captain Beattie. This attack was clearly not...
Ross Hussey: Will the Member give way?
Robin Newton: Members, before we proceed to the Question, I remind you that this motion requires cross-community support. Question put. The Assembly divided: Ayes 39; Noes 36 AYES NATIONALIST: Mr Attwood, Ms S Bradley, Mr Durkan, Mr Eastwood, Ms Hanna, Mr McCrossan, Mr McGlone, Mr McGrath, Mr McNulty, Mr McPhillips, Ms Mallon, Mr Mullan UNIONIST: Mr Aiken, Mr Allen, Mr Allister, Mrs Barton, Mr...
Patsy McGlone: That ends the period for listed questions. We now move to 15 minutes of topical questions. Mr Ross Hussey is not in his place. I call Emma Little Pengelly.
Patsy McGlone: Ross Hussey is not in his place.
Robin Newton: ...similar motions, this will be treated as a business motion. There will be no debate. Resolved: That the following Members are appointed as the trustees of the Assembly Members' pension scheme: Mr Ross Hussey, Mr Trevor Lunn, Mr Richie McPhillips, Ms Caitríona Ruane and Mr Jim Wells. — [Mr Maskey.]
David Ford: ...Allen, Mr Allister, Ms Armstrong, Mr Attwood, Mrs Barton, Mr Beattie, Mr Beggs, Ms S Bradley, Mr Butler, Mr Carroll, Mr Chambers, Mrs Dobson, Mr Durkan, Mr Eastwood, Dr Farry, Mr Ford, Ms Hanna, Mr Hussey, Mrs Long, Mr Lunn, Mr Lyttle, Mr E McCann, Mr McGlone, Mr McGrath, Mr McKee, Mr McPhillips, Ms Mallon, Mr Mullan, Mr Nesbitt, Mrs Overend, Mrs Palmer, Mr Smith, Mr Swann Tellers for the...
Ross Hussey: 1. Mr Hussey asked the Minister of Justice how many prison officers were retired on medical grounds in 2015-16. (AQO 395/16-21)
Mike Nesbitt: ...an alternative approach. I commend it to the House. Question put. The Assembly divided: Ayes 15; Noes 70 AYES Mr Aiken, Mrs Barton, Mr Beattie, Mr Beggs, Mr Butler, Mr Chambers, Mrs Dobson, Mr Hussey, Mr Kennedy, Mr McKee, Mr Nesbitt, Mrs Overend, Mrs Palmer, Mr Smith, Mr Swann Tellers for the Ayes: Mr Aiken, Mr Nesbitt NOES Mr Agnew, Mr Anderson, Ms Archibald, Ms Armstrong, Ms...
Ross Hussey: Like the previous contributor, I am not overly happy with the answer. I met Mencap yesterday, and we discussed the problems associated with adults with learning disabilities in West Tyrone. The figure is not £8 million: we are possibly talking about £110 million or more that has been underspent in West Tyrone and the Western Health and Social Care Trust. You mentioned the trust in the...
Ross Hussey: I apologise to the Minister for not being here for the start of her statement, but I have read your statement and was paying attention as you spoke. You referred to paramilitarism and also to forensic services. Clearly, in the Republic of Ireland, quite a few explosive devices and arms caches have been found. Will you assure the House that any evidence gathered that is forensically linked...
Richie McPhillips: It is great to get the opportunity to contribute to today's debate, and I thank Mr Ross Hussey for tabling it. Members have covered much of the ground, and I just want to make a few points. In May, I had one of the first opportunities to meet families in Enniskillen, and I heard at first hand of the great difficulties that they face. These families are struggling through no fault of their...
Ross Hussey: I thank the Minister for his responses so far. Can the Minister advise the House what steps he will take to provide voluntary services, such as the Royal British Legion and other ex-service organisations, with support to provide assistance for people who need it but who will not be approaching the Department or advice centres directly?
Ross Hussey: ...here — you can get full broadband facilities. Yet, you cannot get that three or four miles outside the county town of Tyrone. There has been reference to people doing their homework. I look across the Chamber and see few who would have used the Internet to do their homework, with the exception of you, Mr McCrossan. I look across at the oldies over there, and I know that they, like me,...
Ross Hussey: 4. Mr Hussey asked the Minister of Health what action her Department is taking to support adults with learning disabilities affected by the £8 million underspend in learning disability services in the Western Health and Social Care Trust. (AQO 93/16-21)
Ross Hussey: 4. Mr Hussey asked the Minister of Finance for an update on how he plans to address the issue of equal pay for PSNI, Department of Justice and Northern Ireland Office personnel. (AQO 78/16-21)
