  1. Debate contribution: VAT for Hospitality

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank everyone who participated in the debate. It has been thought-provoking and colourful, which is always fun. I have never experienced a situation like this. Clearly, in opposition, we are winning friends and influencing people. A succession of people got up to slag us off and then…

  2. Debate contribution: VAT for Hospitality

    • Opposition Business

    I am grateful to the Member for giving me the opportunity. He will note that the motion is careful. It does not say that we should definitely cut that tax. As an Opposition, we have been consistent, unlike the Executive parties, in providing costings. The motion says that we should look at whether devolving VAT for…

  3. Debate contribution: Independent Environmental Protection Agency

    • Opposition Business

    I thank my colleague for giving way. Does she agree that it is slightly surprising and really disappointing that some in the Chamber are trying almost to downplay or deflect the seriousness of the crisis that we face and prolong it by calling for more reviews? We have two things: a crisis in one of the biggest…

  4. Debate contribution: Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    I am pleased to make a winding-up speech on the motion. It feels a little strange, because we had a break for Question Time during which we had a substantial discussion on the various priorities that Ministers and all Members have. I will reflect on a few of the comments made by Members, and I will, hopefully, secure…

  5. Debate contribution: Family Farming: Sustainability

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Another element of the 'Farming — On Life Support' report was the reflection that the Going for Growth strategy was environmentally hugely destructive and that it worked against small family farms to the advantage of large corporations. Will he confirm that no official in his Department is working to deliver outcomes…

  6. Debate contribution: Irish Language Commissioner: Appointment

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I welcome the deputy First Minister's clarity. She said, "Very shortly". She will appreciate that I asked the question of the Executive Office in February and received the answer a couple of weeks ago that we would be kept informed of the process. I ask that it is expedited and that there is clarity before the summer…

  7. Debate contribution: Programme for Government: Timescale

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    We could spend all day talking about your definition of "pace", deputy First Minister. It might not be quite the same kind of pace that we saw at the North West 200 at the weekend, by all appearances. Since the debate that we have just been having on the Opposition day motion is about publishing either a Programme for…

  8. Debate contribution: Programme for Government

    • Opposition Business

    I beg to move Today is our third Opposition day. We intend to use it to focus on delivery, but, before I move on to my substantive remarks, I wish Conor Murphy well. He has temporarily stepped down from his role as Economy Minister, and I think that all of us will wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back at…

  9. Written question AQW 11760/22-27

    • Department of Finance

    To ask the Minister of Finance to detail her Department's estimates in relation to the unallocated funding to be released at June monitoring, including, but not limited to, (i) funds released from the establishment of the Public Service Transformation Board; (ii) funds released from increased Barnett consequentials…
