Text

Minister, I asked you yesterday:
"how many planning condition breaches has your Department been guilty of in relation to the closure and demolition of the Boyne Bridge?" — [Official Report (Hansard), 9 December 2024, p51, col 1].
You said that there had been none. In response to three questions for written answer last month, you told me that you were discharging a number of planning conditions relating to the Belfast transport hub that had originally been put in place to protect the unionist businesses on Sandy Row. What sort of messaging does it send to others when rules and regulations are an afterthought in your Department?
