  1. Debate contribution: Respite Provision: South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust

    • Adjournment

    I welcome the Adjournment debate and thank the Member for bringing it. It is an incredibly important issue that we have covered at great length in the Health Committee. It is close to all our hearts, because it concerns some of the most vulnerable in society and those who carry the mantle of caring for them. There are…

  2. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26: Reports

    • Committee Business

    It is important to acknowledge that having a Budget prepared and a Programme for Government in this place is definitely a step forward. We are here to talk not about the Budget but about the findings of the Committee for Finance and the NI Fiscal Council in their interrogation of its draft. While the language of the…

  3. Debate contribution: Fire and Rescue Service: Gorse Fires

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    After the previous set of wildfires in the Mournes in 2021, we were promised a wildfire management plan and a Mournes wildfire strategy, which were to be delivered by the Department of Finance and the Agriculture Department, so does the Minister agree that the lack of progress on those matters has, literally, fuelled…

  5. Debate contribution: Fires in the Mourne Mountains

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    I echo the remarks that were made about the work of the Fire and Rescue Service over the weekend. It was absolutely pushed to its limits and did a sterling job to try to help our natural environment. Four years ago, we had a serious issue, and one of the only things faster than the Fire and Rescue Service was the Sinn…

  6. Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Finance for Priorities

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Minister, given that just about 5% of the overall Budget deals with the priorities in the Programme for Government, which do you believe is more lacking: the overall percentage of funding available for the priorities or the ambition of the Programme for Government?

  7. Debate contribution: Priorities for Youth: Update

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his answer. Inherent in the previous 'Priorities for Youth' document was the protection and enhancement of the role of those in the voluntary sector as the leaders in the delivery of youth work in our communities.

  8. Debate contribution: Budget 2025-26

    • Ministerial Statement

    Thank you very much, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Given that the First Minister said last week that the Executive are investing to deal with waiting lists but that it transpires that the so-called investment is merely the ring-fencing of existing money — the First Minister says "investment", the Finance Minister…

    Mr McGrath asked the Minister of Finance to provide assurances that all the necessary finance is available to deliver on the priorities and promises in the Programme for Government that he and his Executive colleagues published not long ago, which promised that they would be "Doing What Matters Most".
