Minister, I thank you for that extensive response and join others in condemning those who have attacked you personally or your officials. It is unacceptable and needs to be called out. Agricultural shows are welcome opportunities to showcase the industry. They also offer DAERA a useful opportunity to encourage people…
I understand the need for many of our public bodies and organisations to transform and become more efficient. However, I rise this morning to raise concerns about the Housing Executive's proposal to close four of its offices in my Londonderry constituency: at Collon Terrace, Waterside, Richmond Chambers and Waterloo…
I very much welcome the £5 million of funding for public realm works in the Walled City of Londonderry. That is welcome news that comes on the back of the announcement on Austins. Minister, just a few weeks ago, we commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic and the key played by Ebrington Square.…
I thank the First Minister for her response. First Minister, through your office, have the Executive undertaken any assessment of the impact of reduced policing numbers on good relations in Northern Ireland, particularly in light of sectarianism and hate crime attacks, in order to see what we can do as an Executive to…

I thank the Minister for his response and I welcome the £1·2 million that his Department has provided to restore the Austins building in the city centre. Minister, will you outline any further plans that you have to restore buildings in Londonderry city centre?
On behalf of the DUP, I send our condolences to the Familola and Sibanda families. What happened over the weekend was a very sad tragedy, with two young lives taken far too soon. Many of us will have heard the tributes being paid from right across the community, not least from the RNLI representative who clearly…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether any scoping works have been carried out by her Department to extend the cycle path from Drumahoe to Altnagelvin Hospital.
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, you referred to Ministers granting consent to Tourism NI to amend the memorandum and articles of association. Can you outline why that was necessary and why a capacity review of Tourism Ireland is required?
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, since the consultation, the general feedback that we have received through the Committee has been that, broadly, the unions have been supportive and, broadly, the business community and its representatives have serious and genuine concerns. One of the sectors with…
I rise with sadness and concern following a week of sectarianism and violence in my constituency of Foyle. On Easter Monday, we saw violence from republicans near the Fountain estate. Following the Easter Monday parade, petrol bombs, fireworks and masonry were thrown near an old people's home. At the weekend, we saw…
To ask the Minister for Communities, given the success of the JobStart 50+ Scheme, whether his Department has any plans to continue to run this programme.
