Thanks very much indeed, Minister. Apologies for not being here earlier. You just talked about the Department for Communities.

I apologise for not being here for the entirety of the debate. Unfortunately, we had to attend the funeral of a very dear member of the Ulster Unionist Party, Pamela Stewart.

I welcome the chance to make some comments today on the Main Estimates 2025-26. First, I acknowledge fully that few, if any, Departments or ALBs will be pleased with the current budgetary position.

Minister, when you discussed the decarbonisation of ports, was there any discussion about making the Irish Sea a zero emissions zone (ZEZ)? We have seen that happen, particularly in Europe for the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea. I understand that there are ambitions in Dublin to do the same with the Irish Sea.

Over the past few days, two further stark examples of antisemitism occurred.

I thank the Minister for giving way. This is probably a moot point. The Minister will be aware that there is a lot of concern about the fact that many of the North/South bodies' accounts have not been reported in sufficient time, and, indeed, that some of them are, to put it mildly, less than qualified. Is the…
