Mr Martin asked the Minister for Communities, who has mentioned the anti-poverty strategy in some of his answers so far, for an update on progress on it and when he sees it being completed.

How long will it take to see much-needed additional PSNI officers on the ground to relieve the pressure that serving officers are currently…

Agriculture contributes an enormous amount to our economy, especially in Northern Ireland, and the recent decisions on changes to inheritance tax and agricultural property relief as part of the autumn Budget have had devastating consequences. The decisions are short-sighted and…
