    Minister, three years ago, your predecessor as Minister of Education announced nearly 30 schools that were to be put on the major capital works programme, including an amazing school on the Ravenhill Road in my constituency, St Joseph's College, which, like most of the other schools, awaits any news of developments.…

  2. Debate contribution: Rates (Exemption for Automatic Telling Machines in Rural Areas) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    — in time will be appreciated. Perhaps I will get some applause and maybe hugs of appreciation. I will speak on the order largely for the Committee for Finance, and I may then say something extremely short in an Opposition capacity. There is widespread support for the measure, and I thank the Minister for his…

  3. Debate contribution: Rates (Regional Rates) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. He is generous and always up for a debate. He and I agree that there should not be a border on this island. I do not think that there should be a border in democratic culture. He will agree that there is a very robust Opposition in Dáil Éireann. In fact, they are fighting for…

  4. Debate contribution: Rates (Regional Rates) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    The Member is right that there was no detailed discussion on this necessarily, but does he accept, and does he agree, that lots of the things that were done to raise revenue were not due to difficult political decisions being made, but related to uprating Ordnance Survey fees and hospital canteen issues? The idea that…

  5. Debate contribution: Rates (Regional Rates) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025

    • Executive Committee Business

    I am happy to take your guidance, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am coming towards the end of my remarks anyway. I make no apology, however, for connecting the Rates (Regional Rates) Order to our Programme for Government, because this is the only time that we come to the Chamber to debate a revenue-raising tool. We often come…

    Today, I warmly and delightedly welcome the fact that the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will come to the great city of Belfast next year. It is the 75th anniversary of the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

  11. Debate contribution: North-west Transport

    • Opposition Business

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. That was a really thoughtful debate. It is not the first time that we have debated the north-west today, because it is an Opposition day devoted to the north-west, but it is not the first time that we have talked about cross-border infrastructure and rail, and I doubt that it…

  12. Debate contribution: North-west Transport

    • Opposition Business

    I appreciate the Minister's giving way. I know that Departments are looking at five-year business plans. Hopefully, those will tie in with a multi-year Budget. Is the Minister's Department looking at potential Budget allocations for the implementation of the all-island strategic rail review? I know that some of that…
