— will the Minister confirm that the current robust science-led approach will remain in place until the new strategy is announced, thus ensuring that those who have their planning applications in the system already will not see the goalposts moved again?
We have been assured that the current method that DAERA uses to assess planning applications, which was announced on 19 December 2023, is now fit for purpose and informed by science and evidence. As the emerging ammonia strategy is to be published shortly —
Thank you very much. While it is safe to assume that Alliance did not have this as a consideration when tabling the motion, it does come at an opportune time for the TUV, as my party will today be submitting proposals on the matter to the Treasury, where these decisions are actually made. Between the mid-1970s and the…
Minister, you have thrown down the gauntlet to MLAs today to identify what we would cut or what services we should postpone. Stormont is able to find £9 million annually for an Irish language Act, £1·6 million annually to maintain prison buildings at the Maze as a shrine to terrorists and over £35 million a year on…

Certainly, I will take the opportunity in my maiden speech to highlight two seismic events that have taken place in my constituency of North Antrim since the Assembly last sat in July. Our tourism pull has been greatly strengthened after the hidden jewel of Gracehill's Moravian settlement was awarded UNESCO world…
My office has been contacted by victims who have lost loved ones and been denied a pension because they did not see the body in the aftermath of the attack. We have a situation where widows are penalised because their loved one came back to them in a closed coffin. Surely that cannot be right.
From the brief opportunity that we have been afforded to consider the document, it appears to me that there is no mention of either the protocol or the Windsor framework. We cannot claim to be securing our economic future while implementing a border that cuts us off from the rest of our Union and, indeed, the sixth…
I thank Claire for tabling the Matter of the Day. We can all celebrate and be proud of the success of Northern Ireland's athletes. To have won only three gold medals in the history of the summer Olympics and then to win four along with a silver and two bronze medals is remarkable. I congratulate all those from…
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 10421/22-27, why figures for red flag and urgent cases were not provided for the (i) Southern Health and Social Care Trust; (ii) Northern Health and Social Care Trust; and (iii) Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
