There appear to have been misrepresentation by Members in the House regarding £181 million that was returned to DOF. Can you clarify the situation, please?
Minister, you outlined some of the benefits of the Peace and INTERREG programmes. How can those be improved, particularly in terms of economic development outputs for socially deprived communities as well?
Thank you for your statement, Minister. Anything that encourages local businesses to grow is important. Will you outline when the changes to non-domestic vacant rating will be introduced?
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I would like clarity. You mentioned the Speaker's Office, as well as, potentially, the head of the Civil Service, doing a review. Will the terms of the Speaker's Office's review be made public?
One week ago today, Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of 18 child sexual offences, including rape. That conviction was made possible only by the strength and resilience of the two victims who came forward and reported the abuse. Donaldson was an abuser. He abused children, but he also abused his position in politics…

On the back of the recent disgraceful racist attacks in Belfast, what work is your Department doing to support staff across the Civil Service who were impacted on in order to ensure that they feel safe and supported at this time?
First Minister, you touched on your recent meeting with the racial equality subgroup. Do you agree that it is important that the voices of those with lived experience are taken into account when drafting the framework for race relations?
Thanks very much for giving way. You mentioned that the Executive need to have a plan in engaging with Westminster, but we had one when we agreed the fiscal framework and looked at the level of need. The fundamental flaw here is that, historically, we have been underfunded from the baseline. Unless we address that, we…
Thanks very much. I thank everybody who spoke in this important debate. It is important to point out at the start that the issue before us is not simply the absence of an agreed Budget. At the core of the issue is the absence of an appropriate Budget to fund our public services at the level of need. Those services…

Thanks very much, Minister. The grid connection policy is welcome because it will put money back into people's pockets. Can you provide a further update on the renewable targets and particularly on the renewable electricity price guarantee scheme (REPG), which will help to achieve those targets?
Thanks very much, Minister. It appears that some do not like working-class people or, indeed, trade unions. Trade unions play an integral role in the social and economic fabric here and have done so for well over 100 years on our streets. Do you agree that, in 2026, they still play a vital role in informing workers of…
Miss Hargey asked the Minister for the Economy for an update on the energy strategy, particularly the grid connections policy and the scheme to promote the use of biomethane.
Thank you, Minister. Your Department's disability and work strategy sets out a commitment to investigate opportunities in the benefits system and benefit conditionality in order to help to address claimant fear or reluctance to participate in employment activity. While you are assessing what is happening across the…
Like everybody else, I welcome the Final Stage of the Fiscal Council Bill. It is good that we have got to this point. There has been some constructive discussion through the Committee and at each stage in the Chamber. As others have highlighted, this is putting the council on a firm statutory footing from where it was…
