On a point of order, Mr Speaker. It is absolutely outrageous for the Member, who is not part of the Executive Office, to come to the House —. I do not know where you are getting your information or misinformation from. Let me make it absolutely clear that the deputy First Minister's office chased the First Minister's…

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Agreement was not sought from the deputy First Minister, nor would it have been given, for Michelle O'Neill to attend the Garvaghy Road and stand in solidarity with that community. She was clearly there, as she is entitled to be, in her role as leas-uachtarán Shinn Féin She was clearly…

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. I say this as the Member who was granted permission to ask the question for urgent oral answer on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland: the First Minister has once again shown her utter contempt for the people of Northern Ireland. Her arrogance knows no bounds. She has…

— to answer the question for urgent oral answer. I want to put on record that I am absolutely clear that the First Minister should come to the House. She should not be running from scrutiny or legitimate questions that need to be asked about her behaviour and lawbreaking. Unfortunately, because of such late notice…

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. In response to what the Member has said, just a few moments ago, I received an email from the First Minister's office outlining that she is refusing to come to the House —

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I spoke to Michelle O'Neill about this item of business. She informed me that she told the deputy First Minister in writing what the position was, which is that she engaged with the Garvaghy Road community in her role as Leas-Uachtarán Shinn Féin not as First Minister. That position…

I will write to the Member. There is a challenge around that because of the nature of the area. If it was a river, it would be much easier to establish the threat. I will write to the Member, because I recognise his concern about the matter.

Has the Minister made any assessment of the threat posed to the lough by fire water run-off, given the vast amounts of water used to control such a fire over a long period of time?

The Member will be aware that each site is considered on its merits, but I am glad to outline the additional steps that we are considering taking. The issue of lithium ion batteries is of growing concern, not just in Northern Ireland but across the waste management sector more widely. The increasing number of…

Thank you, Sian. I do not apologise for being passionate about this, because animal welfare is a really important issue. I am incredulous that the deputy First Minister could not agree to it last Thursday. I do not ask much of Ministers: read your Executive papers, raise your queries and allow matters to go to a…

Thank you very much, Sian. For those who are not aware, Lucy's law is a ban on the third-party sale of pups and kittens. Many people have asked me to introduce it, and I am passionate about doing so. Many animal welfare organisations have also called for it. I compiled an Executive paper, circulated it and allowed…

The outcome from my continuing engagement is that I then engage further with the Department of Finance about Budget allocation. You mentioned the farm sustainability payment. We have managed to safeguard that payment this year and in future years. It is critical that we provide that support to the farming community in…

I continue to engage, as the Member outlined, with producers and processors. I recognise the pressures that they face, especially relating to the costs of fuel and fertiliser, which are particularly acute, according to what I read in the farming press. The Chancellor's forthcoming Budget will be critical, not only for…

I will continue to fight my Department's corner for farmers and the environment, because that is really important. On Brexit, if people look at the figures on the headcount in my Department, they will see that there has been no increase in resources since 2018, setting aside the additional resources that had to be…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagra.

I have not met the new UK Prime Minister, but my colleagues have. I continue to engage with my ministerial counterparts, including the DEFRA Minister. The fundamental issue is that Northern Ireland needs a fair funding settlement. Look at the settlements for Wales and Scotland. It is not right that we are not funded…

The Member will know well that that is not what I said, but why let facts get in the way of a good story? The reality is that I have massive respect for the overwhelming majority of farmers in Northern Ireland. They are the custodians of our countryside who do a fantastic job. What I said at the Committee, which you…

I do not have the exact figures, but it is a ground-breaking and really welcome initiative. There is a conditionality associated with the farm sustainability payments that we give to farmers to take part in it. The reason for that is the benefits that it can deliver in relation not just to animal health and disease…
