At a time when public-sector workers and everybody else are having to fill up their cars and heat their homes while paying crushing energy prices, they need clarity. As the Opposition, we agree that the Executive should get the maximum funding from the British Government — we have never quibbled with that — but it is…
Absolutely, our public-sector workers deserve better. They deserve better in terms of the funding envelope from which we give them their pay rise, and they deserve to get that in a timely way. I regret very much the fact that our healthcare workers are again in a situation where they are having to consider strike…
Since the publication of the Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) strategy in 2013, TEO has led on its implementation and delivered a range of good relations programmes aimed at building good relations and understanding across communities, including in areas that have had contested parades. For example, a…
Yes, I agree with you: we have to bank the progress that we have made but realise that there is much more to do. The focus on early intervention and prevention in the Programme for Government marked a change in approach. We all know — it is common sense — that the earlier we can intervene and do the prevention work,…
I thank the First Minister for her answer. Prevention and early intervention need to be at the heart of everything that we do. Does the First Minister accept that, while we have made progress in some areas, there is much work to be done in other areas to ensure that that is the primary focus?
The draft Programme for Government is centred on improving well-being and outcomes for people and communities with a strong emphasis on early intervention and preventative approaches across a range of policy areas. Through the Programme for Government framework, Departments are encouraged to work collaboratively to…
Given that we heard the judgement only in the past week or so, analysis will have to be done on it, but the outcome of the case is the right one. It is great to see the green light being given to the A5 project. It also shows us that the understanding of the climate change legislation is as we had all considered it to…
What will the recent Court of Appeal judgement on the A5 mean for infrastructure projects generally, including those related to the functions of the Executive Office?
Commiserations to Rossa, but at least your team got to the final. As I said, it is absolutely a flagship project, and it must be delivered. We need to continue to work with the GAA, because we want to see today's generation have the chance to play at that ground. Gaels in Antrim have grown up without that chance — it…
I was at the final yesterday: it was a great, tight game that just did not go our way. The sentiment of the GAA community in west Belfast is this: they believe that Casement Park is essential, and they know that it will be delivered. Does the Minister agree that it is a positive development not just for the GAA but…
As I said, I am absolutely committed to working with the GAA to get that flagship project delivered; that is why it is in the Programme for Government. We have seen momentum on the site in recent months, which is positive, and that needs to continue. The funding that we have secured thus far, whether it is from the…
Minister , just yesterday, St Brigid's, in its first final appearance, won the senior football Antrim club title with a narrow 0-21 to 1-16 win over O'Donovan Rossa at Corrigan Park. That match could and should have been played in a newly built Casement Park. What happened to "Casement Park will be built"?
The redevelopment of Casement Park remains an Executive flagship capital project. While responsibility for the redevelopment lies with the Minister for Communities, we have reiterated our commitment to making progress on the matter in the Programme for Government (PFG). Progress on the site has been made, and we need…
— with the need for the residents to have their progress protected. I commend them for that. Everybody standing up for the right thing is always the right thing to do. We are not going back to the days when there are going to be marches put down roads where they are not wanted. Residents expect much more; I expect…
I thank the Member for her question. I can say to you that, yes, I am fully committed to the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts and to the principles that underpin it: equality, respect and peace. My decision, which I own, to stand with the people of the Garvaghy Road was about standing with a community that made…
First Minister, you have consistently demonstrated your commitment to the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts. Your decision to stand alongside the people of the Garvaghy Road was an act of leadership at a time of real concern over an unwanted sectarian parade through their community. Do you agree, therefore, that…
Again, more attempts to demonise the people of Garvaghy Road, both the residents and those who stood in solidarity with and support of a community that refused to live in fear and a community that refused to allow people to drag them backwards. I will take no lectures from you, and I remind you and your colleagues…
Very short, I suppose, but will the First Minister-not-in-my-name take the opportunity today to accept that she blatantly broke the law, disregarded the Pledge of Office and showed complete disrespect for the PSNI when she took part in an illegal protest at Drumcree, not only blocking the road but calling on others to…
Thank you. No, I do not agree with you. I commend John O'Dowd for the fact that he has advanced things to the point where they are now. Are we there yet? No; we have more to do to push as far as we can in order to get what is only fair for all the people whom we represent, Stephen — you and I. Everybody in the Chamber…
Does the First Minister now accept that the draft Budget produced by her party colleague in January was wholly inadequate, failed to address the scale of the pressures facing our public services and would have left Northern Ireland facing impossible choices? Does she acknowledge that it was the determination of DUP…
Had we taken your party's advice, of course, we would be no further on today. As a matter of fact, we have advanced the envelope that we have to deal with those matters. I would say to anybody who is on a waiting list that we are fighting every day for them to have access to healthcare. We are fighting every day for…
