  1. Debate contribution: Speed Limit Reduction: Markethill

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. We have worked closely together, and I hold you in high esteem. I thank the Minister for agreeing to look into the matter. I was at the funeral on Sunday, and the family are devastated by their loss. The lady was going to get her hair done and was killed on that main road. The traffic…

  2. Debate contribution: Speed Limit Reduction: Markethill

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank my party colleagues and Members from all sides of the House who have wished me well on the occasion of my retirement. It has been an absolute privilege to represent Newry and Armagh since 2007. I think that most people will recognise that I represented everyone irrespective of their class or creed.

  3. Debate contribution: Apple Growing, County Armagh

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    The Minister may be aware that the Bramley apple industry in County Armagh is worth in the region of £20 million to the local economy. For growers, cold stores are vital to the protection and keeping of the apples. Most of those cold stores are now 30, 40 or 50 years old. Growers need help to replace and renew those…

  5. Debate contribution: Veterinary Medicines: Disruption to Supply

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the deputy First Minister for her response and for her efforts on the matter. The deputy First Minister will be aware that a large number of vaccines are used by the intensive farming sectors. Does she agree that it would be a serious issue if those medicines were not available?

  9. Debate contribution: Belfast Lough: Pollution

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for his responses so far. We are aware of the reports that thousands of tons of raw sewage has been pumped into Belfast lough. Does the Minister agree that that is totally unacceptable and that something needs to be done as soon as possible?

  10. Debate contribution: Apple-growing Industry in Newry and Armagh

    • Adjournment

    With between 4,000 and 5,000 acres of orchards dedicated to growing apples in the Armagh area, it is clearly an important local element of the horticultural sector in the region. Unfortunately for me, boundary changes moved about 90% of apple growers into my colleague's constituency. That having been said, securing…

  13. Debate contribution: Avian Influenza: Suspected Outbreak

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for his statement. My thoughts are with the farmers involved. While farmers will be compensated for their birds, there is no compensation for loss of income, which is a big issue for them. Loss of income can be very detrimental to a business. Given that there have been no outbreaks of bird flu in…

  16. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland: Inter-jurisdictional Promotion

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the First Minister for her response. The United States is a critically important economic partner of the UK. Will the First Minister outline what she gained by not attending the state banquet for President Trump last week?

  18. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Agriculture

    • Ministerial Statement

    I thank the Minister for his answers so far. I welcome the Minister's comments in relation to a wildlife intervention regarding TB. Is the Minister concerned, as I am, that the incidence of TB continues to rise? Does he accept that it is vital that every effort is made to deal with the situation as soon as possible?

  22. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    • Private Members' Business

    First of all, I declare an interest as I am a partner in a farm business. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this very important issue in our agriculture community in Northern Ireland. The feeling amongst our farming community and the wider agri-food sector is illustrated by the joint letter recently signed by…

  24. Debate contribution: UK-EU Summit

    • Question for Urgent Oral Answer

    Although today's agreement will remove barriers to the movement of seeds, plants, food products and live animals between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the grave threat that continues to loom large is with the supply of veterinary medicines. Does the Minister accept that, while some progress has been made, there…

  25. Debate contribution: Farm Businesses: Inheritance Tax and National Insurance

    • Oral Answers to Questions

    I thank the Minister for her response. I am sure that the Minister will accept that the agri-food sector is the backbone of the Northern Ireland economy, yet farm families are staring down the barrel of a double hit of inheritance tax, which threatens our young people's succession, and an increase in National…
