Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs how the Food Strategy Framework Action Plan 2025-2027 will help facilitate economic prosperity in the agri-food sector.
Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I welcome the opportunity to speak about improving mobile phone coverage in West Belfast. I thank the Member for securing the debate. I am aware that her party has done a lot of local campaigning on the issue, and rightly so. I was chatting to David Honeyford — he joins me…
Last August, the Assembly was recalled because so-called protesters were emboldened enough to walk through Belfast and other areas of Northern Ireland attacking our infrastructure, disturbing the peace, attacking businesses and putting £2 million of additional pressure on our Police Service. Around that time, in the…
As infrastructure spokesperson for the Alliance Party, I rise to support the Budget and to highlight the reasons why infrastructure is so strategically important for many of our ambitions as an Assembly. Since restoration last year, my role has given me the opportunity to speak with engineers, builders, planners and…
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “Addressing the Impact of Illegal Immigration in Northern Ireland”
Addressing the Impact of Illegal Immigration in Northern Ireland - Amendment 3 Leave out all after 'legal migration to the UK;’ and insert: ‘regrets that international conflict, persecution, the impact of climate change and the lack of safe, legal routes are forcing people to seek sanctuary in the UK via irregular…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister (i) how the appointment of board members to the Strategic Investment Board are determined; (ii) how transparency is ensured; and (iii) what oversight and accountability mechanisms are in place.
I rise as an East Belfast MLA but also as someone with family from Strabane who use the A5 regularly, as an Infrastructure Committee member and as chair of the all-party group on road safety. I thank the Member for securing the Adjournment debate. I pay tribute, as Mr Gildernew has just done, to the grassroots efforts…
Thank you, deputy First Minister. Given that the costs are four times higher than originally envisaged and that the accommodation is broadly unfit for purpose, what update do you have for us today on when the refugee integration strategy will be published?
Mr McReynolds asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister what response the Executive Office has given to the National Audit Office report on asylum accommodation contracts that was published in recent days.
I will speak in the debate on behalf of my Alliance colleague Nuala McAllister MLA, who is, unfortunately, unwell. I caution, however, that I am originally from North Belfast as well. I thank the Member for securing the Adjournment debate and the Minister for attending. Five years ago, during COVID, as a councillor in…
Thank you, Minister, for that thorough response. Will you provide an update on regulation and enforcement arrangements regarding sewage pollution by Northern Ireland Water?
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, you mentioned the vital work around supporting women entrepreneurs, including the eight pilot programmes that InterTradeIreland led in 2024. What is your assessment of that work, and when will it be evaluated?
I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, I noted in your statement the welcome commitment to address sustainability challenges. What actions are being taken to help our tourism sector become more sustainable?
Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. I thank Members for their contributions today. As I have said in the Chamber before, when I studied human rights law back in 2011, I met MLAs for the first time to discuss water management and the creation of Northern Ireland Water in 2007. Back then, the Assembly had to grapple…
I rise as the Alliance Party's infrastructure spokesperson. I am delighted that we have a day of infrastructure debates in front of us. As Members will know, I have highlighted several times in the Chamber and in Committee that Infrastructure is a Department that does not get the respect that it deserves. When we get…
I rise as an MLA for East Belfast and someone living with multiple sclerosis (MS) to mark MS Awareness Week. MS affects over 5,000 people in Northern Ireland, and we continue to have one of the highest prevalence rates in the world. Despite that, access to neurology services remains limited, with many patients…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his assessment of the contribution of wastewater discharges in reducing water quality.
Motion Amendment · Private Members' Motion · to “NI Water Funding and Governance”
NI Water Funding and Governance - Amendment 1 After ‘network;’ insert: ‘notes that chronic underinvestment in our wastewater infrastructure is a major driver of waterway pollution and biodiversity loss, as well as blocking housebuilding and stifling economic growth; is concerned that NI Water’s current funding model…
Impact of US Trade Tariffs on Northern Ireland’s Economy That this Assembly expresses grave concern about the impact of US import tariffs on Northern Ireland’s economy; agrees that there are no winners in global trade wars and that the imposition of tariffs will put trade, businesses and jobs in Northern Ireland at…
Good Relations and Social Change Funding That this Assembly recognises the need to demonstrate that good relations and social change funding is properly monitored and evaluated to ensure it delivers tangible and demonstrable outcomes in reconciling and uniting our community; acknowledges that a key aspect of this work…
I rise to highlight major ongoing and systemic issues in the planning system, which I have raised repeatedly as a member of the Committee for Infrastructure. When the Assembly, thankfully, returned last year, one of the first motions was on the planning system. Sadly, more than a year later, we are no further on, and…
