I thank the Member for tabling the debate. The fact that the gap is 81 staff in North Belfast and West Belfast is pretty shocking. One gap is one too many, obviously. The fact that the gap is so large — close to 100 staff — shows that working-class communities in North Belfast and West Belfast are once again being…
The Chair of the Health Committee mentioned that services for children and young people are overwhelmed. A more accurate description, as it was described to me in recent days, is that the services are in complete meltdown. Obviously, staff are working as hard as they can, but they are effectively trying to move water…

What work is your Department doing alongside the Finance Minister to look at vesting and compulsory purchasing powers in order to tackle the scourge of empty homes? When a home lies empty,…
Minister, you have repeatedly used the phrase "legitimate concerns" when talking about migration. There is nothing legitimate to be concerned about when you are talking about migration. There is misinformation that definitely needs to be challenged and refuted. Will you commit to not again publicly using the phrase…
