We have to be clear that the major obstacle to economic, environmental and social progress in the North is mostly inaction and ineptitude by the Executive. The current state of our water network does not help. Poor water infrastructure is, as we have already heard, preventing homes from being built, poisoning our…
I thank the Member for giving way. I agree with his point about the Minister. Will the Member clarify his party's position on the devolution of corporation tax? I presume that it is in favour of devolving it and increasing the rate.
Earlier this month, the Assembly passed a motion supporting tax increases for the super-wealthy, which I spoke on and supported. It is to be welcomed that some parties are finally in step with ordinary people, who have long demanded that the rich pay their way for our public services. The Executive, however, always…
As was discussed in the House yesterday, the UK Supreme Court ruled last week that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. That decision has been a lightning rod for people who want to kick the trans community, and, unfortunately, we heard a lot of that in the House yesterday. Huge fear and anxiety…

Thank you, Minister. You mentioned the fact that the changing of the eligibility criteria for schools to avail themselves of the RAISE funding has seen some opposition. I noticed that that matter was raised at the meeting. Following on from your answer to the Member for South Down, will you clarify whether you are…
There is no doubt that there are some positives in the announcement, some of which were detailed in my trade union freedom Bill many years ago. I am happy to have played a part in helping the Department and Minister to make decisions. However, there are gaps already. 'New Decade, New Approach' promised an outright ban…
Minister, you are probably aware that there are cities in Britain and parts of Dublin in which there is a litany of Airbnbs but few, if any, are registered. It is concerning, Minister, that you do not believe that the planning system should be used to crack down on the use of Airbnbs and short-term holiday lets. Will…
