Thank you for that. Really? There are Ministers who come in here and kick the ball wherever it will land, so there is still a silo mentality. That effort must address the root causes of fuel poverty while supporting the most vulnerable in our community. We have previously called on the Department to take steps,…
I am grateful to the Members who have contributed to this important debate. Many statistics are associated with fuel poverty, and we have heard several of them this afternoon.

Residents in the Bogside area are losing patience, as it is a complete and utter eyesore. How confident is the deputy First Minister that the…

Zoe described her experience in our local hospital, Altnagelvin, as "dehumanising". When Zoe was admitted to A&E for the first time, she was sent home. Admitted for a second time, she was…
