I was going to open my remarks by thanking the Minister for individual pieces of work that he has helped me with, but, since he has stormed out of the Chamber as part of the Alliance Party's political stunt, I will not even bother with that, to be honest. As the only South Down MLA to have signed the motion, I am…
