Thank you, Principal — thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I was promoting you to Principal Deputy Speaker: I am sure that it will not be too long. Thank you to everybody who spoke in today's debate, and thank you to the Minister for responding. I think that we got some positive progress from the Minister, which I…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I will be brief. I will double-check Hansard, but I believe that, during Justice questions, when we discussed the exclusion of nationalists from the d'Hondt process and the fact that it does not apply to the Justice Ministry, the Minister said that, if we — meaning, I presume,…
Minister, our party agrees with you about many of the issues that you have raised, and we want to work with you on them. However, it is clear that, before you took office — an office that, in effect, you and your party campaigned for you to have before the Executive were restored — you were on the record about the…
I am afraid that today's debate has been something of a festival of whataboutery and deflection from the real issues. It has been a challenge at times, for you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, not just to keep order but to remind people of the terms of the debate. Let me say first of all, in relation to what the…
Thank you, Mr Gaston, for giving way. I appreciate that. Since you are now a defender of the Good Friday Agreement, which is the most remarkable development that we have seen in some time, I presume that you are also disappointed and will agree that Minister Lyons was in breach of the ministerial code in 2024 when he…
I beg to move Thank you, Mr Speaker. We are just over two years on from the restoration of the institutions, and it is fair to say that the public have not been overwhelmed by the performance of our restored Executive. It is also true that part of that lack of trust comes from a sense that people who take office here,…
What a decade it has been of talking about Brexit. Among Brexit's baleful consequences, it brought me into politics. I am sure that many in the Chamber and outwith will say that, yes, that is probably somewhere on the list of negative consequences of Brexit. Had Brexit not happened, I would not be here. We support the…
I appreciate the Member giving way, and I am flattered that he used my title. I appreciate everything that he has said and his previously stated party position. I am not moving the motion, but we will support it. However, I am not clear whether he and his party support an EU-UK customs union, which is the main thrust…
Minister, road safety is critically important in my constituency, particularly in Rosetta and Knockbreda, where there are multiple primary schools: Rosetta Primary School, St Michael's Primary School, St Bernard's Primary School and a load of others. Along the Knockbreda Road, there is a lot of fast-moving traffic.…
I often stand up to hold the Executive to account and be quite strong and angry about their poor performance, but today I celebrate amazing performance by two schools, one of which is in my constituency. The other is outside my constituency, in east Belfast, close to here, but it has many of my constituents' children…
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any progress made on the delivery of Belfast Rapid Transport Phase 2, since her statement on 25 February 2025.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline the progress his Department has made on creating a waste management strategy.
