All of Ms Liz Kimmins’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I have lost track of whom I am responding to at this stage. I am also content for it to proceed to the vote. I am keen for the Bill to progress so that it can go to the Committee and the Committee can do its work. We have heard numerous iterations of the same thing and people's views on the same issues. It is…
The Member has rightly pointed to other incidents that have happened in the past. Ultimately, we are looking at the issue to ensure that it is not significant, if that makes sense. It is to satisfy ourselves that things are being done correctly and that the oversight that is required is taking place. I say that…
As I set out in my previous responses about the investigation, we are keen to look at a number of areas further. I have set out my concerns in that regard. It is an opportune time to really reflect on that and ensure that we can satisfy ourselves that public money is being in spent in the way in which 'Managing Public…
Certainly, we can consider that as part of the scoping exercise. It would really maximise what it has brought to the area. I do not even think that I expected the huge positive reaction that there would be to the signs going up. People really noticed and welcomed the signage. It really reflects the growing interest…
The Member will be aware of the very positive feedback that we got about the current signage in the Gaeltacht Quarter. I was delighted to be down to see the implementation of that in recent months. Based on that positive feedback, I have asked officials to complete a scoping exercise for the potential expansion of…
The consultation is key. That is why I encourage everybody to have their say and provide input. I have serious concerns about what is being proposed. I also have to recognise that Translink's financial position is hugely constrained, but what that achieves in respect of the cuts that are being proposed — I do not know…
As the Member knows, that is an issue for Translink, and it has published a consultation on it. I want us to do as much as we can to encourage greater public transport use, but I am very cognisant of the fact that Translink's budget is hugely constrained. We are in Budget negotiations with the British Treasury because…
There has been a lot of debate about who will make decisions. As the Speaker rightly pointed out, we cannot give hypothetical answers. Whatever the outcome of the legislation, I as Minister, or whoever is in place, will be bound to abide by that. What that will entail remains to be seen. Given the length of the debate…
I look forward to the Member's contribution to the debate later this afternoon. We have some way to go with the Bill, and I will respond to it accordingly. However, my focus is on finding a way forward, because this issue is not unique to one part of our community, or whatever way you want to put it. It is an issue…
I am not familiar with what the Member is alluding to. However, any employment matters are for NI Water. At this point, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the matter.
The Member will know that the work I continue to do with all partners has targeted investment where it is most needed, and we saw the result of that in the additional houses that we were able to have built that had not initially been planned. We have seen over 4,500 additional houses being built in the past 18 months…
As I have family who live in Derrybeg, I was very aware of the situation when it happened. My colleague, Councillor Aidan Mathers, had reported it to NI Water, which is responsible for waste water and sewage, as the Member will know. NI Water responded that evening and cleared the blockage. To my knowledge, the issue…
