Text

I thank the Minister for giving way. It is a bit like the twilight zone in here sometimes. The Minister knows that the just transition commission is an outworking of the Climate Change Act. I remind the DUP that it supported that Act. Not only did it support it, but it claimed credit for it in its 2022 Assembly election manifesto. Maybe that slipped its Members' minds. The DUP told people then that it would:

"Promote ... investment to deliver on the aims and objectives of the Climate Change Act."

Does the Minister agree that the DUP is all over the place on the issue? As usual, the DUP is loud on grievance but quiet on credibility.
