I beg to move The motion addresses an issue that continues to choke the north-west and strangle opportunities there: the chronic and historic underinvestment in transport infrastructure. The people of Derry, Strabane, Limavady and the Causeway coast deserve a modern, efficient and well-connected transport system that…

It is a disease that shatters lives, devastates families and cripples communities. Many in the Chamber know all too well the consequences of addiction. We have seen the heartbreak in…

Sorry, Mr Speaker. I learnt through an FOI request that she had not only been invited to the official opening but that she and the deputy First Minister had subsequently been invited to a pre-opening tour. Will the junior Minister explain why those invitations were not accepted or even recalled?
Does the junior Minister agree that there should be full transparency of what is being funded by Urban Villages, why and the exact role of TEO in that?
