I thank the Minister for providing an update to the House and the leader of the Opposition for tabling the question. During a previous item of business, the Member for East Antrim placed much importance on an editorial in the 'News Letter' supporting a stance that he has taken. That paper has described any attempt to…
I thank the Minister for his statement and for reading out representations from the Democratic Unionist Party.

Thank you. I was trying to squeeze in as much as Ms McLaughlin managed to get in during her five-minute contribution. I am pleased to move the amendment in my name and the names of my colleagues. Like Ms McLaughlin, I recognise the vital role that tourism plays in the economy here in Northern Ireland. There can be no…
The Minister shares my commitment to ending harm against animals. Can the Minister outline the support he has given to local councils across Northern Ireland to ensure that enforcement action is in place to remove animals as quickly as possible from those who are endangering their welfare?
On Friday evening, I had the great pleasure of joining hundreds of people at the MAC theatre to watch the premiere of the play 'Pride of the Shore', written by our own Gary Mitchell.
