To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline when the Rural Micro Capital Grant Scheme will be open for new applicants.
I think that I have written too many notes, so, if I omit anybody, I apologise in advance. I will cover Members' comments broadly. Mark Durkan referred to the SDLP's commitment to all-island rail, the decarbonisation of public transport and the north-west — of Ireland, Northern Ireland, or whatever — being isolated. I…
Mr K Buchanan asked the Minister of Finance, after wishing her well in her new role, whether she will commit to funding the Department of Justice effectively to deliver the Police Service and number of officers required to manage the current threat, particularly in light of the recent security alert in her…

Will the Minister look at that funding, because it is vital for our communities? There are few grants that those groups can get to remain…

Mr K Buchanan asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether the First Minister condemns the attacks on 7 October in Israel, which started a chain of events that we all witness each night on our televisions.
Mr Deputy Speaker, I congratulate you on your new role. You look well in that Chair, I must admit. I also congratulate the Minister: after a stay of absence, he is back in the role, and I wish him well. I thank the Member for raising this important issue of domiciliary care packages in the Northern Health and Social…
I congratulate the Minister on his position. I look forward to working with him on many aspects of the environment, agriculture and rural affairs. I appreciate the work that he will do on that. I also thank the Members opposite for tabling the motion and the amendment. We will support both. I am a Member for Mid…
I congratulate the Minister on his new role. I was looking for mention of the A29 bypass in his statement. There are so many potholes around Cookstown that it would be cheaper to build a bypass. My question relates to the wise spending of the money. We see some potholes being repaired with the blast effect or…
