Where the information comes from
Questions and answers come from the Northern Ireland Assembly Open Data (opens in a new tab) service. The site checks for new questions and answers every day. Answers given orally in the Assembly Chamber are taken from the Official Report (Hansard). The photo is from Danny Donnelly’s NI Assembly profile (opens in a new tab).
Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (opens in a new tab).
At the last update (20 October 2026) there were 397 questions to 9 departments and bodies: 337 written questions and 60 oral questions.
What the terms mean
- Written question (AQW)
- A question tabled for a written answer from a minister or the Assembly Commission.
- Oral question (AQO)
- A question tabled for answer during Question Time in the Assembly Chamber. If it is not reached in the time available, it gets a written answer instead.
- Priority written question
- A written question the MLA has asked to be answered sooner than usual.
- Answer due by
- The date the Assembly sets for the answer. “Answered after due date” means the answer was published after this date. “Past due date” means there was no answer by this date.
- Not on the NI Assembly website yet
- New questions appear in the Assembly’s open data before they’re published on its website. Until a question appears there, we don’t link to it. The site checks again at every update.
- Days to answer
- Calendar days between the question being tabled and answered.
- Mentions East Antrim
- The question or answer names East Antrim places, Mid and East Antrim or Antrim and Newtownabbey councils, or the Northern Trust. This is a simple text match, so it may miss some local questions or include some from neighbouring areas.
