Go raibh maith agat. Minister, can you give an update on progress on the issue in Killeeshil from the former Northway site, now known as Sawgrass Substrates?
First, I also acknowledge Dungannon Swifts, congratulate them on their fantastic victory at the weekend and welcome the great lift that it has given the whole town. As I said last week, it is part of a remarkable treble of cup final appearances by three Dungannon clubs that are right beside each other. Unfortunately,…

A recent report from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) provides further evidence that, compared with the North, the Southern part of our island has higher wages, stronger economic growth and better living standards.

I assure Members that I have not moved to the South Eastern Trust area, but I retain my interest in carers and respite. In fact, I raised the issue this morning in Members' statements. I welcome the opportunity to take part in the debate today. The lack of adequate respite services in the South Eastern Trust and,…
I raise again the desperate situation of many families who need respite services. It must be said that, in many situations, respite is the bare minimum that many of our carers and families get. It allows them a short time to have a break, refresh their batteries and just recharge. However, too often, we see situations…
I thank the Minister for moving the Second Stage of this hugely important Bill. It deals with an issue that, I suspect, many of us have had personal experience of in our immediate or extended families. I acknowledge Kellie's personal testimony. A chairde , there is nothing more devastating for expectant parents or,…
I thank the Minister. I am aware that he will be dealing with the issue in more detail later, but, for now, can he outline briefly what a baby loss certificate scheme might entail?

There is huge fear and concern about what the cuts will mean for some of the most vulnerable in our society. There is also an element of shock for some people,…
Reinstatement of Development Aid That this Assembly recognises the importance of overseas development aid in providing lifesaving support to those that are displaced, threatened by war or living in famine and absolute poverty; acknowledges the integral role that aid organisations play in supporting efforts to build…
I start by thanking everyone who has contributed to the debate today and has indicated support for our motion. I also thank Marie Curie, who have been in the Building today, for raising the issue with us and for the fantastic work that they do in supporting families through terminal illnesses. I worked closely with…
