I thank the proposer of the motion and welcome the opportunity to highlight the failure of the British Government to prioritise farming families and the rural economy in the autumn Budget. The introduction of new thresholds for inheritance tax and the change to agricultural property relief will have a significant…
I welcome the motion and the opportunity to highlight the issue of bovine TB and discuss how the Minister, with the support of his Executive colleagues, intends to address it. I am not sure what the amendment adds — I will support it, by the way — other than a specific mention of wildlife intervention. I presume that…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. This issue, particularly environmental improvement protection and an agency to provide that, has been talked to death in the Assembly. The Minister's party and my party have committed to it. I am a bit puzzled by paragraph 30, which states that the panel's recommendations:…
Go raibh míle maith agat, a Phríomh-LeasCheann Comhairle. That really takes us to the heart of the matter, does it not? This is supposed to be a Government by the people, for the people and for all the people, and, quite clearly, that is not spilling out of the letter that you referred to. My colleague pointed out…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Protecting Farming Families Following the Autumn Budget 2024”

To ask the Minister of Health why eligibility for health service-funded IVF, and related treatments, is restricted to instances where the woman has a body mass index of at least 19.0kg/m2 and up to and including 30.0kg/m2.

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to detail the number of people that have (i) applied; (ii) been interviewed; and (iii) been accepted for positions as Soil Sampling Technicians in the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme during the current recruitment process.
I thank Mr Buchanan for securing the Adjournment debate. Financial support for rural communities in Mid Ulster is clearly an issue. Sometimes, we feel a bit forgotten. However, the good industries that are there, be they Dale Farm or the manufacturing industries that have got themselves to the top of the pile, have…
To ask the Minister of Finance whether she will use the Barnett consequential of the 40 per cent rates relief scheme for independent retailers and other high street businesses in England to provide appropriate rates relief for high street businesses in Northern Ireland.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. Can the Minister provide the House with some detail of what the public consultation on the Just Transition Commission is seeking input on? Will it include a just transition fund for agriculture?
Minister, drugs education is an important part of the preventative curriculum, yet, despite that, the North has seen a trebling of drug deaths in the past decade. Will the Minister outline whether there is any revision or review taking place in his Department of drugs awareness and education in our schools?
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the steps his Department is taking to ensure that honey sold here is genuine and not imported, adulterated honey.
To ask the Minister of Justice for her assessment of the comments made by the Tánaiste at the British Irish Association conference in September 2024 that a root and branch reform of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Retrieval is needed.
To ask the Minister of Health when he will implement the 5.5 per cent pay increase for health workers as recommended by the Pay Review Body, that is being paid in England, Scotland and Wales.
Thank you for that, Minister. I was thinking more specifically about getting professional advice from the likes of accountancy practices so that you are best armed to make your case when you go to meet the likes of the Secretary of State or, indeed, the Chancellor. Will you consider doing that, please? The issue is…
Thank you very much, Minister. Given that the announcement of the scoping exercise coincided with an SDLP motion calling for the establishment of an independent environmental protection agency (EPA), which the Assembly supported, has the Minister scoped the support of his Executive colleagues for such an independent…
Mr McGlone asked the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs whether, in light of the recent announcements about inheritance tax, his Department is taking specific advice on what the likely implications of that tax will be for active family farm businesses.
