  1. Debate contribution: Direct Payments to Farmers (Cross-Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024: Prayer of Annulment

    • Committee Business

    I am grateful to the Member for taking my intervention. I hope that he can clarify the situation. We have shared space at Lough Neagh rallies. I am puzzled that his colleagues on Belfast City Council, just down the road, called on: "the DAERA Minister to reinstate the previous more stringent penalties to more…

  3. Debate contribution: Direct Payments to Farmers (Cross-Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024: Prayer of Annulment

    • Committee Business

    I thank the Member for his intervention. I can confirm that I am not aware of any such correspondence. If Members permit, I will now make progress. As I said, this is returning to a position that existed in 2022. We must understand the purpose of the regulations. They were established not as punitive measures but as…

  5. Debate contribution: Direct Payments to Farmers (Cross-Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024: Prayer of Annulment

    • Committee Business

    I do not deliberately correct the Chair of the Committee on this, but it is not a passion; it is a prerequisite and an absolute must, if we are to save our natural environment and reverse the state of the waterways.

  6. Debate contribution: Direct Payments to Farmers (Cross-Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024: Prayer of Annulment

    • Committee Business

    There has been some predicting of what I am about to say. Nevertheless, I hope that I will bring a different perspective and additional information. I rise, as a member of the Committee for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and as the Alliance AERA spokesperson, to state clearly that we do not support the…

  7. Debate contribution: Direct Payments to Farmers (Cross-Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024: Prayer of Annulment

    • Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. A moment or two ago, the Member referenced his acceptance and acknowledgement of the Minister's intention to clean up our environment and tackle climate change. If he does not my mind my asking him directly, does he agree with those aims and will his speech reflect that before he…

  10. Member's statement: World Wetlands Day

    • Members' Statements

    Yesterday was World Wetlands Day. I take the opportunity to mark it in the Chamber on the first available day afterwards to highlight the importance of raising awareness of those remarkable habitats. World Wetlands Day happens each year on 2 February. Recognising the importance of wetlands allows us to appreciate…

  17. Debate contribution: Disposable Nappies: Collection and Recycling Scheme

    • Private Members' Business

    The debate is about an undeniably significant issue as we strive for a cleaner and more sustainable environment. I thank the proposer of the motion and her colleagues for bringing it to the House and highlighting a very important issue. I suspect that, as I speak, there will be a lot of similarity between what I will…

  19. Debate contribution: Body Cams: Healthcare Staff

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for that answer and recognise, of course, the seriousness of the issues and that the safety of staff must be a priority. Is the Minister aware of any work being done currently, or even before the consultation commenced, to minimise risk for staff? Perhaps he could bring into his reply work being…

  20. Debate contribution: Alcohol Consumption: Impact on A&E

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    On the subject of winter preparedness, to which the Minister referred, will health workers and professional bodies, such as the RCN, the BMA and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM), be consulted when the Minister starts work on his so-called blank page for winter pressures?
