In 2008, the Larne waste treatment works were opened, and it was envisaged that they would be effective until at least 2030. Six years later, they were at capacity. As a result, developments, economic and residential, have been significantly limited. Will you agree to meet representatives of NI Water and me on that…
I thank the Minister for his statement. I agree with him that the overwhelming majority of dog owners are responsible. Minister, do you foresee a significant increase in the number of XL bully dogs coming to Northern Ireland from GB before legislation is put in place? What engagement have you had with the Royal…
Addressing NI Water Challenges That this Assembly recognises the failure of existing water and waste infrastructure to meet current and future demand; further recognises that existing funding models have restricted NI Water’s ability to meet commitments to maintain and develop services for residential and business…
Victim and Witness Care Unit That this Assembly recognises the work that is undertaken by the Victim and Witness Care Unit to support victims and witnesses of crime; acknowledges that delays in the criminal justice system and a lack of resources have had an adverse effect on the support provided during the prosecution…
I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. Also, I congratulate her and wish her all the best. As she said, there is a great deal of goodwill towards Northern Ireland right now, particularly around the world, in light of the Executive coming back. We have a very skilled and highly able workforce. Is there any…
I am sure that everyone in the Chamber will join me in sending our best wishes to Ireland's male cricketers, who had their first-ever test match victory against Afghanistan on Friday, which they won by six wickets.

As you will be aware, I do not represent South Down, but I want to thank the Member for securing today's debate and all the Members for their passionate contributions on behalf of their constituents. I chair the all-party group on micro and small business. We had the privilege of being hosted at Down Business Centre…
I thank the Member for giving way. I am conscious that it is the same for the Carrickfergus line as it is for the Bangor line. One key aspect that we need to see is an increase in the night-time economy. There is limited access to trains and buses. Does the Member agree that we should see an increase to those services…
I thank the proposers of the motion and the amendment. We will support both. Our rail network has been the victim of chronic underinvestment over many years in terms of the existing infrastructure and diversification away from a carbon-emitting fleet but particularly in terms of a lack of network in the west of the…
I thank the Member for giving way. One of the key issues here is that we do not have connectivity to our airports. Rail could be a game changer: we could open up the International Airport, for example, and improve the tourism offering as a result.
