your clues are.....
I make sure MLAs on the Assembly Committee I advice have the information they need to scrutinise Bills, holding Ministers and their Departments to account. My role includes researching issues the Committee is looking at and providing procedural advice to the Committee Chairperson and MLAs. I assist the Chair and Committee members to write Committee Reports and speeches.
As well as working with MLAs, I manage staff in the administrative support services. I also liaise with officials from Government Departments, the public and the media.
What career path led you to your current role?
I held a number of management positions before joining the Assembly. I completed a Masters degree in Business Administration and have always had a strong interest in politics and current affairs. My work demands attention to detail and accuracy, as the Assembly Committee I advise depend on me to provide reliable information.

Committee Meetings
From 1932 to 1972, the Senate Chamber was the Upper House of the NI Parliament. It is modelled on the House of Lords at Westminster. Today, it is one of several rooms in Parliament Buildings used by committees. Sometimes, meetings are held at locations outside Parliament Buildings. There are 3 types of committees: Standing, Ad Hoc and Statutory.
Standing Committees
Standing Committees work on issues to do with the operation of the Assembly. For example, the Business Committee decides the agenda for plenary meetings in the Assembly Chamber.
Ad Hoc Committees
Ad Hoc Committees are formed for a limited period of time to look into specific issues. Once an Ad Hoc Committee has reported on an issue, it ceases to exit.
Statutory Committees
Statutory Committees check what Ministers and their Departments are doing and examine their suggestions for new laws. They can call Ministers and their staff to a committee meeting to ask the questions.
