I thank the Minister for that update. We understand the complexity of the challenge that is in front of her on that. What target date have you set your Department for attempting to clear the remaining Crown Court cases that were delayed as a result of the dispute with members of the Criminal Bar Association?
First Minister, the Budget is now beyond six months late. On your watch as First Minister, our public services have crumbled to the worst state that they have been in since devolution. What do you have to say to people who are languishing on waiting lists, suffering and in pain, due to the lack of a Budget? Is it…
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I have a prepared speech, but I will address a number of points that were made in the debate. First, I say to Ms Bradshaw that we will, of course, support the Alliance amendment. Turning now to the two lead governing parties of this place. Pat Sheehan began by describing how…
Minister, your party and your partners in Government — the DUP — have presided over a shameful failure to deliver a Budget for the people of this place. Do you accept that it is not sufficient simply to say that some health funding is ring-fenced, or do you accept that there is a failure and that people are suffering…
I am sure that the First Minister will agree that this is not where any of us want to be today or ever. Does she also agree that it is deeply depressing that Jamie Bryson has been able to swing the DUP by the tail for the past week, though it has not realised it yet?
I do not think that I have ever been described as that, Mr Deputy Speaker, but I will accept the compliment. I welcome the opportunity, on behalf of the SDLP, to support the motion that was tabled by the UUP and, of course, I acknowledge the Alliance amendment. As Members will know, I am a very proud dog owner. In our…
I thank the Minister. Yes, I am very conscious of commentary from some on the opposite Benches that has, at times, been highly inappropriate. Minister, can you confirm the total costs to your Department and the public purse of the operation that was carried out on that day in slaughtering 51 cattle: the staffing…
Can the Minister give an update on the cross-border pilot and the regional cooperation programme to tackle bovine TB because it is one of the biggest issues for farmers in my constituency? Will the pilot include part of my constituency, and what will it cost?
The Minister has used the word "fairness" a number of times: there is no fairness in you or your Executive colleagues holding our people or public services to ransom while you play Russian roulette with the British Government. Can you provide any clarification on when this will be resolved? Simply throwing loose…
We are talking about vacant sites, and the Minister has referenced a number of sites across Northern Ireland. Does he have an update for the House in relation to Milltown House, on the site of the former Strabane Grammar School, which has been lying vacant for a number of years? The historic building on that site is…
I thank the Member for giving way. As my colleague said, we take the point about a better funding model from Westminster. Will the Member acknowledge two things, however? First, her party, with the DUP, has been in government for 20 years. There has been huge mismanagement and wastage of public funds across all…
I thank the Member for giving way. It is important to say that there cannot be one rule for the Government and another for private property owners. The Member will, I hope, agree with me that a significant number of public buildings in the estates of Health, Education and other Departments are lying empty and in a…
I welcome the Bill, and the SDLP will support it at Final Stage today. There is no doubt that councils need stronger powers to deal with dilapidated buildings and neglected sites. We all know the buildings that I am talking about; they are very prominent in all our constituencies. They have sat empty for years, with…
I thank the Minister for giving way. I appreciate her giving her time. I understand that this is a priority for her. This is an important point, given that the Agriculture Minister is also present. You said that we need to make sure that things move more swiftly. I think that everybody agrees. One of the biggest…
I thank the Member for the intervention. That uncertainty needs to be addressed and, hopefully, the Minister can bring some insight and clarification. I see the opportunity around ROCs in the future as an opportunity for growth. There are people with expertise and knowledge about what they are doing who are already in…
On behalf of the SDLP, I welcome the Bill and support its progression to this stage in the House. Northern Ireland has an enormous economic opportunity before us. Renewable energy, as Members have said, should not simply be viewed in isolation through a prism of climate targets. It is also a huge and significant…
I appreciate the Member's point about the project being Department-led. Unfortunately, the lessons of the past show that the private sector has been 10 miles ahead of the Department on every move. It is worrying, on a competence issue, that the public's perception is that the Department for the Economy does not have…
I thank the Member for giving way. He makes a very interesting point. Does he agree with me that, in local council authorities and the Department, there seems to be a very clear lack of understanding of planning and of the complexities of some of those applications and that that is leading to some of the delays? There…
I was also here earlier, listening to the questions to the Minister and to his answers. Minister, it is clear that you have spent the summer perfecting how to blow your own trumpet, and you are doing an exceptional job of it. I remind you that your party and Sinn Féin have presided over some of the worst levels of…
