Assessment details for Debate contribution: Failure to Agree a Budget Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Failure to Agree a Budget
Minister, your party and your partners in Government — the DUP — have presided over a shameful failure to deliver a Budget for the people of this place. Do you accept that it is not sufficient simply to say that some health funding is ring-fenced, or do you accept that there is a failure and that people are suffering…

If the SDLP had had its way, and the Executive had sought to implement the inadequate Budget as set out by the Finance Minister earlier this year, that would have been truly devastating for public services and jobs across all nine Departments. The Secretary of State had requested a response by last Thursday to the…

Minister, I do not envy you the job that you are trying to do at the moment, but help me to understand something. You said that, if nothing changes, there will have to be cuts. We are halfway through the financial year. If those cuts are to be applied to just half a financial year, rather than to a full financial…

Minister, has the Secretary of State committed to continuing to engage with the Minister and the Executive, despite the deadline having passed, in an effort to see a sustainable Budget being agreed? Does the Minister agree that there can be no cuts to front-line public services?

Early in the process, the Executive took the decision to retain the ring-fencing in the Department of Health's budget to tackle health waiting lists. That funding is in place. The Health Minister has an opportunity to spend that funding. There have been significant improvements in our health waiting lists over the…

Nobody objects to the assertion that we need to negotiate with London for better and improved money. At the same time, the lack of a Budget is having a direct effect on the delivery of public services, including health services. There are 520,000 people sitting on health waiting lists. The lack of a Budget is…

There have been discussions on reprofiling with the Government and Treasury. In the case of the offer that is on the table, reprofiling would assist in the first year, but we would run into the same problem in the second and third year. They make the same mistake every time that they come to us in relation to this.…

It was about reprofiling, John.

Minister, will you confirm that the Secretary of State's offer is for the full value of approximately £63 billion over three years? Has there been any discussion about reprofiling within that settlement?

The cost of mutual aid is much higher here than it is elsewhere, because, as one of your Ministers has pointed out many times, mutual aid elsewhere crosses county lines. When coming here, officers have to come across the Irish Sea, and we have to put up bed and board for them, so there is an additional cost that the…

I respect that there is an ongoing process when it comes to the financial settlement for Northern Ireland. It is important that the Executive are united in those negotiations with the UK Government. However, there is now another issue that is compounding financial pressures, particularly for policing. Of course, the…

Minister, do you agree that the British Government and the Secretary of State have an opportunity to save this place significant amounts of money — up to £1 million a day — by making a call on the Orange march, which is what they should have done a week ago?
Decided on a second assessment.

Minister, when you released your draft Budget earlier in the year and said that it was a good deal, our Ministers, including the Education Minister, came out very quickly to set out the significant issues that it would cause for our public services. I am glad that the Executive now stand together in looking for a…

It is not my intention or desire to hand any power over to the British Government. When it comes to the two issues that he mentioned — fuel and energy prices — he will know that the Executive do not have the power or the financial clout to deal with them. However, it would be wholly unacceptable for the British…

Thank you, Minister. First of all, in your constituency, there is a very important issue to your constituents. A deep wound has been reopened, so I acknowledge that that will have taken some of your time, legitimately and properly. However, it is also true to say that we need to govern this place. As of last week, we…

My priority remains to secure a fair, sustainable multi-year Budget that gives Departments certainty and enables them to plan, invest in and transform public services. That requires sufficient, stable funding from the British Government. The Executive have engaged extensively with the Secretary of State, and I have…

What message does the First Minister think her actions send to people who have spent decades being told that political disputes in Northern Ireland must be resolved through the application of the law?

Does the First Minister now accept the principle that elected reps cannot simply pick and choose which court or lawful decisions they wish to obey according to whether they agree with them, even if they are the so-called, self-styled First Minister for all or some?

Does the Minister not agree that we have had a masterclass in evasiveness? She has not answered any questions. Does she not accept that what she did at Garvaghy Road has set the scene for discord, disharmony, segregation and divisiveness in the community? The biggest opposition to a united Ireland sits opposite me.
