Text
Justin, I continue to go out and engage. That is what I will do. There is an open door, and I believe in engaging on the issue. People have questions, and they deserve answers. That is why I commissioned the independent external review. It is important that there is full transparency and that the findings and recommendations are published, and that is what I am seeking to achieve. Ultimately, as Minister, I have a duty to serve all the people of Northern Ireland and not be dictated to by right-wing unionist commentators and TikTok users in relation to an agenda that denies the reality of climate change and the importance of facing up to our environmental obligations.
