Minister, I really appreciate your giving way. Can we make sure that the regeneration is not developer-led and that the Departments, communities and residents are at the heart of it? We have had development companies for a long time, but we have had nothing back, and communities have been shut out again.

Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank Mr Brett for bringing the issue for an Adjournment debate, for his passion for his constituency and the city centre, and for outlining, clearly, what needs to be done. He mentioned the extension of late-night public transport services. I am happy to confirm to him and…

I probably will not mention it either. I welcome the debate and thank Phillip for securing it. I had it in my notes that we debated the topic last year. I was here talking about it. When we look at the city centre, we see it as one city centre that impacts on all the communities, but, whilst the Tribeca site is, to be…

I am pleased to speak on the subject. It is one that Mr Brett and I have talked about a lot, and we share some of the same priorities on the city centre. I am glad that he has proposed the debate. The pedestrianisation of Hill Street and the introduction of night buses are all things that we need in order to maximise…

I thank Mr Brett for securing the Adjournment debate. I have certainly learnt a lot about the area and the problems with Tribeca in North Belfast. I hope that Members will not mind if, coming from Fermanagh and South Tyrone, I contribute to the debate. Belfast's dereliction and lack of development affects every part…

I thank my colleague Phillip Brett for bringing the debate to the Assembly Floor. I note the high level of agreement from all parties about the frustration at the lack of progress with the development. North Belfast has the highest level of dereliction in the city centre area. I acknowledge that we have had investment…

Consensus has broken out, so I will keep this short. There were a couple of points that I really wanted to make, but some of them have already been made. I thank Phillip Brett for bringing the topic to the Chamber. It is opportune. Planning permission was granted in 2020 for what was sold as a £500 million…

Thank you, Phil, for securing the debate. There is nothing that we disagree on. It is really important to note the cross-party working, particularly on Belfast City Council. Since I moved on to the Assembly, our party group leader, despite being an East Belfast elected rep, has been very invested in the Assembly Rooms…

I thank Phillip for bringing forward the Adjournment topic today. I am from the area. I still occasionally call over and go for a walk with my friends and their dogs around there. I do not stray into the Deer's Head, but I have seen some of you at the Duke of York when we have walked up there with the dogs. Those are…

Like Members on all sides of the House, I got involved in politics because I love my community and the city that I am honoured to represent. It would be churlish of me not to recognise the massive progress that has been made in our city, particularly in North Belfast, over many years. A constituency that was once…

I thank the Minister for his statement to the House. It is a really important programme, and I am sure that my constituents in South Antrim and those great organisations will be keen to avail themselves of it. Will the Minister consider making it a rolling programme so that community assets can be maintained well into…

Obviously, the scheme will cover rural and urban halls. In the past, a previous AERA Minister supported 113 rural halls. I questioned the Minister yesterday in the Chamber, and he indicated that he was having conversations with you about supporting the fund. Do you see the AERA Minister putting his hand in his pocket…

I thank the Minister for his statement. He has partly answered my question already. People who run halls for faith-based organisations have been unwilling or unable to apply for funding that is attached to lottery sources, because of their faith. Can the Minister confirm that this is government funding through his…

I thank the Minister for his statement, which will be welcomed in the many small, rural community halls that span Fermanagh and South Tyrone.

I thank the Minister for his statement. Minister, I note that you mentioned sports clubs in your statement. At this point, I should thank you for coming to my constituency to see Bangor Swifts Juniors in training. What funding can sports clubs apply for under the fund?

Ultimately, it will be down to the organisations that apply to source the quotes and source the people who will do the work. Given the small nature of some of the works that will be required in the grand scheme of things, local organisations and local employers will be able to benefit. Of course, we expect all…

I thank the Minister for his statement. I am interested in the local economic impact that the fund may have. I am particularly interested in the reference that was made to the benefits for local SMEs and tradespeople. How will the Department monitor whether contracts are awarded locally? Will there be safeguards in…

I am grateful to the Member for raising that issue. It is difficult for me to answer the question, because the community, social and economic benefits that churches and faith-based organisations bring to Northern Ireland are almost unquantifiable. They are often the unsung heroes. They put on events, run clubs and…

I thank the Minister for his statement. The Member who spoke previously talked about exclusion.
