  2. Debate contribution: Enniskillen Royal Grammar School

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Minister will be acutely aware that I, too, want to see Enniskillen Royal Grammar School progress. Can he indicate what the timescales may be, once the school completes the planning stage? Decanting to the Devenish College site is not ideal either, given that the college moved to a new site and there are issues…

  3. Debate contribution: Belfast City Centre Night Czar

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Key to the night-time economy is having proper infrastructure, such as taxis and public transport, in place. The night czar has raised the issue of a lack of taxi provision in particular around the city centre. Those workers are concerned about the VAT consultation that is going on at the moment in respect of…

  4. Debate contribution: Social Housing: Rural Areas

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    It will be no surprise to the Minister that I am interested in housing need in rural areas. He referred to issues around hidden demand and to his ministerial engagement with stakeholders. What steps is the Minister taking to identify hidden demand, specifically in rural areas?

  5. Debate contribution: Dual Market Access

    • Opposition Business

    The DUP has been clear that the arrangements to which Northern Ireland is currently subject impact on and undermine the integrity of the UK's internal market. However, the DUP was able to make gains. Building on the progress to date, the DUP will continue to fight to fully restore Northern Ireland's place within the…

  6. Debate contribution: Lough Neagh: NIEA Powers

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Everybody in here knows that the information that has come out from 'Spotlight' is concerning: we all get that. However, big companies and Northern Ireland Water are, essentially, getting away with polluting rivers. That is not just happening in Lough Neagh; it could be happening elsewhere in Northern Ireland. When…

  7. Debate contribution: Floods: Downpatrick

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Infrastructure Committee received information about properties that are at risk of flood. For example, 45,000 properties are located in at-risk areas, and, when you add climate change to that, there are an additional 14,800 at-risk properties. The Committee has asked for a breakdown of where those properties are.…

  8. Debate contribution: Executive Legislation Programme 2024

    • Executive Committee Business

    Absolutely. I thank the Member for his intervention. It is vital to growing our economy and making Northern Ireland better. I therefore endorse the legislative programme, and I look forward to working on it with all colleagues.

  9. Member's statement: D-Day Commemorations

    • Members' Statements

    On D-Day, scores of men went from these shores to Normandy to fight the tyranny of Nazi occupation. The debt that we owe to those men is immeasurable. Those from these shores who fought against Nazi occupation did not care about the religion of their fellow soldiers. Across Northern Ireland, it was poignant that all…

  11. Debate contribution: Health: Vision Statement

    • Ministerial Statements

    I welcome the Minister to his new role. I will be a critical friend to the Minister, and I look forward to working with him in the weeks, months and years ahead. I represent a rural constituency, and the Minister mentioned the Western and Southern Trusts. My constituency does not even have a dual carriageway to bring…

  12. Written question AQW 12688/22-27

    • Department of Health

    To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 12180/22-27, whether his Department has explored the possibility of introducing a bursary scheme similar to the NHS Wales Bursary Scheme to ensure that students studying healthcare-related degrees will return to work in Northern Ireland after receiving their qualification.

  13. Debate contribution: Budget 2024-25

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. I find it unbelievable that he says it will not damage Departments. It may not do that, but it will damage community groups. I know the number of people who are in contact with my office. I am sure that people are in contact with his office and the Ulster Unionist Party offices.…

  14. Debate contribution: Budget 2024-25

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for making that point about the deployment of fear. I could do that with waste water treatment. Earlier, I made the point that people turning on their taps and getting good-quality water is a bedrock service. If we do not fund that properly, we will see more problems in our health centres and things…

  15. Debate contribution: Budget 2024-25

    • Executive Committee Business

    The Member makes a valid point, and she will be aware that waiting lists are very important. An awful lot of people who are on waiting lists contact us regularly, and we have seen zero plans for how we will spend the money that has been given. Surely, that should be the focus of whoever is going to take the Health…
