Minister, your Department's lack of action on critical issues affecting the Northern Ireland farming community is nothing short of disgraceful. While you push ahead with costly net zero measures, you fail to address a TB crisis that is affecting farming families, and you fail to get to grips with an ammonia strategy…
We hear a lot in the Chamber about emergencies and crises, such as the climate emergency, health crisis and cost-of-living crisis. We debate strategies, funding and urgent interventions, but let me ask this: where is the same determination, intent and urgency when it comes to safeguarding our children? Where is the…

I thank the Member for giving way. She makes an important point that there are huge savings to be made — we have heard the examples cited in the Chamber and in our communities — but it is not just a Department of Education problem. There is huge waste across government when it comes to procurement. I am thinking…
I thank the Member for giving way. Would he go further and agree that not only are there the skills in local PTAs and local communities but there would be huge savings for government, given the huge costs of procurement?
It is fair to say that the issue has caused significant concern and distress to many poultry farmers across Northern Ireland. The poultry industry is worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the Northern Ireland economy. It is regrettable, Minister, that you are here talking about the issue via a question for urgent…

That charity has been associated with radical gender policies for younger-age children and…
