Assessment details for Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Consideration Stage Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill: Consideration Stage
We are enthusiastic about the Bill. It is positive that we will see honest endeavours made to reduce the cost of school uniform. It is worth stating for the record that we genuinely believe that no pupil should ever feel stigmatised or excluded by reason of the affordability of school uniform. Something that puts…

I thank the Member for giving way. Apologies: I did not realise that you were bringing your remarks to a close. You made a statement that the scope of the Bill is to bring down costs, but the Bill also refers to other issues, particularly comfort and practicality. I would like to hear why you feel that that the Bill…

Have you seen the guidance? You are very confident that the Bill will deliver for parents. Our concern is that we have not seen the guidance, so we do not have the same level of confidence that you do.

Thank you very much, Principal Deputy Speaker. An hour and a half ago, I pointed out that I was slightly disappointed in the tenor of the debate. Yes, this is a political debating Chamber and, yes, political points are scored at times. However, the Bill is designed to reduce, and will deliver on reducing, the cost of…

On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Further to your point just before Question Time about Members speaking within the scope of the Bill, were you or any of the other Deputy Speakers privy to the rationale that the Speaker used for not selecting the other amendments?

I will come back to the Member in writing, if she is happy enough for me to do that, so that I can give accurate timings and budget. I attended the recent opening of the greenway at the Newtownards end. We are keen to see that progress.

With work progressing on greenways in the Ards and North Down Borough Council area, will the Minister publish the timetable for the DFI works to connect the Comber greenway to the Bangor greenway and confirm that a budget has been allocated to those works?
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Road Safety: Structural Maintenance Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Road Safety: Structural Maintenance
The draft road maintenance strategy that I have articulated should help to address the issues that you have outlined. We have had numerous conversations about how we can fix one hole in a road because it meets the criteria but bypass three or four other holes. That is the type of work that we will try to tackle as…

I do not want to lead on to the topic that we will debate later, but I feel that I have to. On the one hand, we report potholes — I am sure that all elected representatives do the same — and the repairs that are required to our roads, but, on the other hand, we need to report the same roads six to eight weeks later,…

When you compare the allocation for the road safety budget with the structural maintenance budget, you see that they are very different figures: £2·4 million and £68 million. As I said in response to other Members, I fully recognise that the budget for structural maintenance is far from what it needs to be, and I will…

It is fair to say that a lot of areas, including mine, would be able to make the same argument. It is about looking at it as a whole. On prioritisation, the list of works that are needed is put forward through the divisions and then to the Department. I do not decide who gets what, unfortunately. However, I take into…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Road Maintenance Budget: Regional Balance Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Road Maintenance Budget: Regional Balance
I thank the Minister for her answer. Is there anything built in to ensure that areas such as my constituency of South Down that do not have rail links or solid, reliable, regular public transport on higher-quality buses, get more priority when it comes to road maintenance, given that we have lower-quality roads that…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Road Maintenance Budget: Regional Balance Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Road Maintenance Budget: Regional Balance
In response to earlier questions, I said that a number of factors are taken into consideration when allocating funds. As part of that, section offices will put forward their increasing needs or what is required in their area, the major demands and the critical issues. A lot of methodology goes into that. Essentially,…

Absolutely. The restoration of the Ulster canal will offer a very attractive cross-border holiday destination for visitors not only from across Ireland but from abroad. When completed, it will form part of an all-Ireland inland water system, allowing visitors to travel from Clones in the South to Enniskillen in the…

I thank the Minister for her answer. The Ulster canal project is widely welcomed by my constituents; it is literally up the road from me. Will the Minister agree that the project will be a great boost to the all-island economy?

The Ulster canal project is being progressed in three phases. Phase 1 goes from Lough Erne to Castle Saunderson, and phase 2 goes from Clones to Clonfad. Both are now complete and open for navigation. I was lucky enough to be in Clones over the summer to see the canal and to meet Waterways Ireland. Work on the third…

It is certainly my intention to progress and get a conclusion as soon as possible. I am considering all the advice and information that officials have provided at this stage. We are working through that, and, as soon as updates are available, I will inform the House and the Committee.
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Road Safety Legislation Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Road Safety Legislation
I thank the Minister for her response. I have been recently updated on the graduated licence scheme, strengthening drink-driving legislation and drug-driving legislation, both of which you have just mentioned, and an increase in fines for speeding. Minister, will you say in response now or maybe in writing — that is…

I mentioned the school bus legislation, and I indicated earlier this year that I am keen to introduce legislation on overtaking school buses. We are working through that, and I am being provided with advice on the best way forward. We are looking at areas such as the use of mobile phones when driving and drug-driving…

Absolutely. We all want to see the same thing and get there as quickly as possible. Any more time without the new road means a risk of more lives being lost. The judge said that lives would be lost if we did not get the scheme delivered as soon as possible. I have engaged with groups such as the Enough is Enough…

Minister, given the huge importance of the project for the north-west of Ireland, for no one more than the families who have tragically lost loved ones along the route, will the Minister agree that it is important that we all work together to make sure that the scheme comes to fruition?

As I said, that is evidently a key issue not just for me as the Minister but for everyone involved. It is no surprise that the outcome of the ruling was extremely disappointing — that is probably an understatement — not just for me and the Department but for everyone involved, including the local representatives who…
