Go raibh maith agat, a Aire, as bheith anseo leis na freagraí a thabhairt dúinn. I had numerous reports at the tail end of last week about foul tastes and odours from the water supply. Young mothers are afraid to give it to their babies through the food that they are providing. I have had a lot of calls about foul…
Go raibh maith agat, a Aire, as bheith anseo leis na freagraí a thabhairt dúinn. There are reports that you plan to phase out industrial derating. Will you clarify whether that is the case? I am sure that you agree with the rest of us that it is a substantial advantage and its removal would be severely disadvantageous…
The Minister will be aware that that report was published in March 2022. It is now 30 months' old. At what stage will we have an injection of a bit of vitality into the decision-making process? It is a good scheme, but it would be well worthwhile to take on board and implement a number of the report's recommendations.
Water Supply To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, in light of recent reports and public concern regarding the taste and odour of the public water supply, to update the Assembly on measures being taken by NI Water to resolve these issues.

On the just transition and the economy, what support or other measures have been discussed with the Department for the Economy, particularly the on-farm and in-yard measures that could be implemented to support that transition,…

To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 13519/22-27, to detail any additional financial support he will provide to implement the Strategic Plan for Community Pharmacy.
I thank the Minister for his statement. It is rather unfortunate, however, Minister, that you are making a statement on Lough Neagh on your own, without Executive buy-in. You announced 37 actions, 20 of which are within your remit. I understand why you had to make the statement, but can you give us any indication of…
I listened intently to Dr Aiken's emphasis on health in his contribution. I am sure that all our offices receive correspondence about waiting lists, childcare and paediatric health issues. Some of the cases could take a tear from a stone. I raised this point earlier in response to the Minister of Health's statement:…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a ráitis. DFC was able to fund only 400 social house starts for 2024-25. That represents a decrease of 73·4%. The £20 million allocation is welcome. How many starts will that provide?
