On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I apologise for not being in my place for question 8, and I apologise to the Minister, before she heads out.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, will you advise on how we might proceed if a Minister makes what appear to be almost directly contradictory statements, one after the other? The Infrastructure Minister just said in answer to Gerry Kelly that there was no alternative funding model for NI Water other than water…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht an fhreagra sin. Minister, in my constituency, I deal on an ongoing basis with the shortcomings of developers in relation to their responsibilities in waste water infrastructure. Will you provide an update for us on the developers' contributions consultation, please?

I thank the Member for the question. In the main, the Fiscal Council report considers how that funding gap can be closed. It is important to put it into perspective. We are talking about a difference of £55 million between the indicative amount that my Department is allocating for capital funding to NI Water, which is…

Thank you. The average household rate in the North for 2024-25 was £1,180 per annum, so, if we applied the notional figure of £595 on top of that, the starting point would be an average annual bill of almost £1,800 for households. Again, it would be unfair to add that extra financial burden to households. It is…

Yes, that is a pertinent point. I saw the report from the Consumer Council. It reported that food costs account for almost a quarter of households' basic spending, with almost half of young adults surveyed fearing that their food would run out before they had the money to buy more. Again, I think — Sorry, Mr Speaker,…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as ucht a freagraí go dtí seo. Further to what she said, does the Minister agree that, at a time when parents are skipping meals so that their children can eat, as highlighted by the Consumer Council, it would be unconscionable to place further costs on top of their bills?

I thank the Member for his question. I agree that the report from the Fiscal Council is welcome. It confirms what my predecessor and I have said consistently, which is that alternative funding models for NI Water would lead only to the introduction of water charges for householders. For the avoidance of doubt, let me…

OK. I am not sure where to start with that, but I will say that the land is part-owned by the Department; the Department does not own all of it. When billboards have been erected in the past, the Department has made contact with those who erected them. I am happy to take further questions on that. If you want to write…

That is news to me and a lot of ones in the Chamber. Sinn Féin has a history of erecting posters on the billboard at that roundabout; maybe that is why the Minister is reluctant to provide a time frame for its removal. My understanding is that the billboard is on Department-owned land: on that basis, how can anybody…

I wonder whether the Member has moved constituencies and is now representing Newry and Armagh. I have received numerous questions about the billboard. It is a planning matter, so I ask the Member to speak to the local council about it.

As I have said before and in response to questions for written answer, due to our budget, we have a more limited service for all the Department's operational duties. That is continually under review, and I continually ask for additional funding to support the Department's work. It is fair to say that I am not…

I do not know the specific parts of North Down that you are talking about. Last week, I met councillors from Ards and North Down Borough Council to discuss road conditions, and they raised a number of issues. We had a positive discussion about how we can work together to ensure that we address those issues, as is the…

Absolutely. I would not have made the announcement had I felt that we could not do that. As I said when I made the original statement a number of months ago, what was important for me was that, while we were unable to commit to the full project at that stage due to budgetary constraints, I wanted to ensure that we did…

Just give me a second. I have lost my train of thought. As the Member will know, I made an announcement earlier in the year. At this stage, we are engaging with stakeholders and starting the process. I recently met some stakeholders from the Ormeau Road end, as well as Retail NI. We are looking at the next stage and…

As I said, I want to see a solution. We need to act in immediacy, but it is important that we do so very thoroughly. Today's ruling is a detailed decision, the implications of which we do not know at this stage, because we received the judgement less than three hours ago. It would be remiss of me to start saying that…

Will the Minister, along with her Executive colleagues, prepare emergency amending legislation to clarify the relevant section or sections of the Climate Change Act 2022, which, in its entirety, was voted through by all in the House, that preserves its core purpose while clarifying that it cannot be used to block…

As I said in my previous response, today is a hugely disappointing day; in fact, it is heartbreaking, particularly for all who have campaigned very strongly and for all the families who have put so much time and effort into doing so, despite dealing with their own grief and loss. They believe that the A5 upgrade is…

First, I will say that this has been a very disappointing day. My first thoughts are with all of the families who have lost a loved one and those who have been injured as a result of road traffic collisions along the A5. It is not a day for point-scoring or anything like that; it is a day to look at what needs to be…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Road Safety Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Road Safety
Minister, those are nice, warm words about improving road safety. However, today's court judgement has shown that your party's support and that of others for the climate change policy has had a major impact on that. How do you judge that the impact seen today will affect your work going forward to improve road safety…

As I said, I am deeply concerned about the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads. Sadly, younger drivers, particularly young male drivers, are significantly over-represented in road traffic collision statistics. The aim of graduated driver licensing is to reduce the over-representation of new, mainly…

I thank the Minister for her response. I totally agree with her that we can all take action to increase safety when we are on the road. She mentioned graduated driver licensing as a safety option: is she able to provide more information on that?
