Was £8 million of the regional balance fund returned and reprofiled for future years? Is the Minister concerned that that delay, or any delay, in spending could limit the impact or ambition of projects that are intended to tackle regional imbalance in the short term, particularly in areas like the north-west?
I thank the Member for giving way. He has rightly identified the fact that the recovery of costs is often more easily said than done. Does the Minister recognise a situation where so much of the public estate has fallen into disrepair and dilapidation, and does he envisage a situation where councils therefore pursue…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a ráitis. I also thank her for the update on her meeting with Minister James Browne, the hardest working man in politics. Will the Minister give us an update on the Ulster canal restoration project? I am particularly interested in the phase of work that will be carried out in the…

From the…
Minister, have you been or will you be making the argument in the Executive that any Barnett consequential arising from the UK Government's £13·2 billion warm homes plan to tackle fuel poverty should be ring-fenced to tackle fuel poverty here, where it is worse?
The First Minister says that the public want to hear that the Executive are doing and will do all that they can to ensure the delivery of the A5: with all due respect, the public have been hearing that for 20 years. Is the latest setback, resulting from the latest judgement, yet more evidence of the Executive's lack…
