    • Executive Committee Business

    As the Alliance Party spokesperson on the economy, I will raise a couple of things that are not only important now but essential for future years. I will mention a couple of stats. Innovation levels among Northern Ireland businesses are the lowest across these islands. In the UK, we are twelfth out of 12 regions.…

  3. Debate contribution: Shared Future: Strategic Framework

    • Private Members' Business

    I have said before in the Chamber that I probably would not be here were it not for my community involvement, particularly in local sports clubs in Lagan Valley.

  4. Debate contribution: Job Creation: Ambitious Targets

    • Private Members' Business

    I feel unwell, but I am trying to be positive about this. To be honest, when I read the motion, out of frustration I did not know where to start. We will support it — anybody would support it. I do not think that any of us would disagree with anything in a motion that calls for more jobs. However, the focus should be…

  5. Debate contribution: Renewable Electricity Support Scheme

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I welcome the Minister's response. However, given that our economy is made up mainly of small businesses and microbusinesses, can the Minister confirm that the scheme will also include support for smaller-scale projects from half a megawatt up, and not just those from five megawatts, as was previously said?

    • Private Members' Business

    I start by acknowledging the tremendous dedication and hard work exhibited by workers across the industries and businesses that have continued to lead and grow our economy amidst Brexit and during the last seven years, when the Assembly has not sat for five of those years.

    Thank you, Minister. We all want to see support for our grassroots clubs and the availability of capital funding.

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Mr Honeyford asked the Minister for Communities, after referring to the fact that he has been torturing him with questions about the subregional stadia programme, and given the fact that, separately and importantly, some grassroots clubs are not able to apply for subregional funding, to outline the capital funding…

    • Members' Statements

    I want to congratulate Lisburn Rugby Club on winning the qualifying league on Saturday with a bonus-point win over Strabane. The club won the league with a match to go, which is a brilliant achievement. I would probably not be standing in the Chamber were it not for starting out in Lisburn Rugby Club back when my son…
