I have been very clear in saying that I do not concur with those words. They were her words, and I will not answer for someone else's words.

Those are not my words. They are not words that I would ever use. My job is to try to build a more prosperous society here; to create opportunities and employment; to make this an inclusive society; and to work with others to govern in the best interests of people. That is very much my focus as everybody's First…

Yes. We have already seen a lot of volatility, even since the ceasefire was announced. Absolutely, I urge all sides to faithfully implement the ceasefire agreement and, in doing so, to negotiate in good faith. That must mark a turning point not just for the people of Palestine but for people across the entire Middle…

There was a glimmer of hope last week with the ceasefire announcement, and we very much welcome the return of the Palestinian and Israeli political prisoners and hostages and their being reunited with their families.

There are two different questions. Yes, Casement Park will be started, and yes, Casement Park will be built. I will work night and day to ensure that that is the case. When it comes to Andrew Muir's comment, "Battle a day" are words that he decided to use. There is no doubt that the Executive arrangement is…

Yes. Casement Park remains a flagship project of the Executive and we are actively working to make it happen. The project must be built for all the reasons that the Member is only too aware of: there is the economic benefit from the construction, and the investment in Gaelic games is long-overdue. I assure you that I…

Yes. We have made good progress by identifying that area, and we are making a difference by investing £55 million in early learning and childcare for 2025-26, but, of course, we have much more to do.

Just last year, we led an academic delegation to North Carolina. As part of the new international relations strategy, there will be an opportunity for us to work more collaboratively.

As I said, at the heart of the economic plan is a focus on productivity, targeting resources at seven high-potential sectors and using dual market access to drive export growth. Also at its heart is investment in talent with the launch of a new skills action plan. That will take time. When trying to harness those new…

I do not agree with what you said. The heart of the economic plan, project and strategy that the Economy Minister has developed is very much about growing a strong economy. The Member can see all the opportunities that have been created over the 18 months since the Executive were formed. We will continue to create…

There has been considerable engagement across all those bodies, because it is important, as I said, that we join up all the dots. A lot of work is happening at an Invest NI level and a tourism level.

As the Member knows, we share a position on that. There will, however, be no joint Executive Office position on the issue. The council will therefore not get joint Executive Office correspondence. We received a letter from the council to let us know about the motion and to invite comment from us. The reality is that…

As I said previously, I do not comment on how others choose to conduct themselves in a public forum. I also encourage the Member not to be selective in what he chooses to pick out.

The Member will be aware that, towards the end of last week, the British Government published the legislative text.

I thank the Member for her question and also for the tone in which she presented it, because it is important that we reflect on the fact that at the heart of this conversation are people who have been impacted on and hurt by conflict.
