Yes, we have seen a few of those too. I think of Shackleton Barracks, which was fast-tracked through the Executive. It was not given the hurdles to jump over and the hoops to jump through that Fort George and Ebrington faced in Derry in order to get approval through the Executive.

Regional balance has to become embedded in how government operates, but I appreciate the concerns that you raise. I am sure that the Bill sponsor will be happy to discuss those matters and for us to flesh out the least-risk approach. I will give way to Mr Delargy.

It would then be called in to the Executive anyway because it was cross-cutting,…

I thank the Minister. Does he recognise that a failure to fund the arts adequately threatens not just tens of thousands of livelihoods and the massive socio-economic benefits that the arts create but the very infrastructure that made the fleadh such a success and has made this small place such a big player on the…

In my council area of Derry City and Strabane, there are over 11,400 people on the waiting list for social housing. That number will continue to grow as the lack of available housing pushes up rents in the private sector, putting them beyond affordability for people and increasing homelessness and hardship. Minister,…
