Text

Thank you, Minister. Major life-saving infrastructure projects, from the A1 in her constituency to the A5 and the A4 Enniskillen bypass, are being blocked from progressing because of flawed, unattainable climate change targets. Those targets were exclusively backed by your party, the SDLP and Alliance. Minister, you will agree that not only is the delay costing millions of pounds but it is costing lives. Therefore, Minister, will you commit to bringing forward amending legislation to remove the climate change targets that have become an anchor around the neck of Northern Ireland infrastructure projects right across the Province?
