103. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill

     • 16 June 2026
     • Oral Answers to Questions

     Thank you for that answer, Minister: it sounded positive. Despite regional balance being a stated Executive priority, no legislation has been introduced by your Department or the Executive, and the gaps between the regions are getting bigger. My Bill would strengthen the Executive's response and put regional balance…

104. Debate contribution: Regional Balance Bill

     • 16 June 2026
     • Oral Answers to Questions

     Last Monday, my Regional Balance Bill hit the floor of the Assembly for its First Stage. I was delighted, as it had been a long time coming. I have long argued that, if regional balance is good policy, it should be good legislation as well.

     • 15 June 2026
     • Executive Committee Business

     I thank the Member for giving way. I suspect that I am one of the "good" SDLP Members that you talked about. You have covered a lot of ground. Can you understand that the frustration is not with some of the areas of discussion? It is with how you have abused the institutions and the petition of concern. You have…

     • 15 June 2026
     • Oral Answers to Questions

     Thank you, Minister. Most councillors whom I speak to want to use the powers that are contained in the Bill, but they are worried about the cost to ratepayers. What can you do to reassure them on that issue?

     • 15 June 2026
     • Matter of the Day

     First, our thoughts and prayers are with Stephen Ogilvie and his family. The scenes that we have witnessed on our streets in recent days have been utterly shameful, and I think we can all agree on that. Families have been forced from their homes; businesses have been attacked; communities are living in fear; and…

     Will the First Minister and deputy First Minister table an amendment to the Inquiry (Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses) and Redress Scheme Bill to deal with the posthumous date?

     Thank you, Minister, for that answer. Domiciliary care workers are highly skilled individuals. You referred to the fact that they are at the back door of the hospital in order to support A&Es. However, Minister, an awful lot of money is spent on agency workers. It is a colossal spend. Is there any way that you could…
