Will the Minister confirm whether there will be timed and measurable targets in the final PFG against which her Department's progress can be monitored?
I welcome the motion and the focus on the need for tougher action against those who are convicted of animal cruelty. I suspect that most parties support the motion, at least in principle. After all, we are all animal lovers. It should not be a surprise that the SDLP supports the motion. In particular, we support the…
Has the Minister engaged with the Minister for Communities regarding the cost consequences of this proposal and its potential negative cost impact on the provision of social housing?

Mo bhuíochas leat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle.
