The A6 has had cones on it from Dungiven to Drumahoe in Derry for the past three weeks for grass cutting. Is there any way that that can be sped up on what is a main arterial route? The delays that are happening on that main road are shocking.
Minister, I really welcome the consultation. It is very comprehensive, and I look forward to engaging on all aspects of it.

Thank you for your answer. Will the Commission ensure that any contractor engaged to deliver catering and cleaning services is assessed on the terms and conditions that it offers its employees? We need to show leadership there. If we are promoting good jobs as part of the economic vision, we need to make sure that we…
I will speak briefly on behalf of the Committee for the Economy. As the Minister said, the regulations address problems that arise from the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023. The Act may have removed certain interpretative effects, creating a risk that the case law defining what should be included in…

Junior Minister, have you considered and responded to the request from the Education Minister to reverse the decision to remove funding from that school's transport? If so, what rationale have you used?
I beg to move On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Has the Minister responded? Will he be in attendance? Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I think that we all agree that it is no surprise that some of our young people want to spread their wings once they leave school. Moving abroad can offer no end of new opportunities…
