  3. Debate contribution: Winter Fuel Payment

    I thank the Minister for his statement and for the pace at which he moved to provide it. I welcome the U-turn by the Labour Government. The increase in the income threshold is something that my party pressed for, as, I know, did other parties. Minister, you highlighted the new income threshold, but what engagement…

  4. Debate contribution: Winter Fuel Payment

    I thank the Minister for his statement. I am pleased, as others have said that they are, that Labour has done a U-turn. I am also pleased that those who are very wealthy will have their winter fuel payment reclaimed from them. In your statement, Minister, you said: "necessary subordinate legislation for Northern…

  5. Debate contribution: Winter Fuel Payment

    I thank the Minister for bringing the statement to the House. I also thank him for his quick action to provide clarity and for his continued commitment to the winter fuel payment for our pensioners. Will he confirm that pensioners in Northern Ireland will have the payment delivered at the same time as those in the…

  6. Debate contribution: Winter Fuel Payment

    I thank the Minister for his statement. To many across Northern Ireland, it is a welcome announcement. It will come as a great comfort to those who were worried and stressed about the removal of the winter fuel payment. Minister, you said previously that every pensioner in Northern Ireland should get the payment. Are…

  7. Debate contribution: Winter Fuel Payment

    I wish to make a statement to update the Assembly regarding winter fuel payments in Northern Ireland. Last year, the Labour Government announced changes to the eligibility criteria for the winter fuel payment, restricting payment to pensioners on pension credit and other means-tested benefits. Since then, I have…

  8. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    It would be wrong for the Member to make that point without identifying for many in the Chamber today who Sinclair Mayne is and what position he previously held in the Department.

  12. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    I was tempted to congratulate some Members on getting as far as the 1920s and the plough in a debate on environmental matters, but that would be mischievous. The Member referred a moment ago to the consultation. The proposer of the motion commented that the consultation was built without "them"; I assume that "them"…

  15. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I declare an interest, as I have family members who work right across the agriculture sector. I pay tribute to my colleague Michelle McIlveen, who, despite some of the accusations in the Chamber about the intentions behind the motion, has always been a champion and friend…

  18. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    As someone who comes from a farming background, I spoke with the Ulster Farmers' Union. I also spoke with the director-general of the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA), and he said, "Do nothing without consulting with farmers. The Water Forum in the South is a very useful mechanism to move things forward, and to ensure…

  20. Debate contribution: Nutrients Action Programme 2026-29: Opposition

    • Mr Andrew Muir Alliance
    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. In considering this debate, I will hopefully give a comprehensive response to the points raised. I will also review Hansard, and, if there are any points that I have not covered in my response, I will seek, where appropriate, to deal with them in writing. We have a crisis with…

  21. Debate contribution: Ulster-Scots Language: Promotion and Policy

    Of course, my Department has an Irish language policy — a dual-language policy — and that is reflective of the action that is in the business plan. That is being rolled out across our arm's-length bodies as well in respect of the need to support the Irish language, particularly in the further education sector.

  22. Debate contribution: Air Connectivity: Dublin-Derry

    Yes, of course. Ulster University's Magee campus represents a significant strategic investment and has the potential to deliver substantial economic benefits for the north-west and, of course, the whole region. Since the task force launched its final report and action plan in December, work is progressing at pace…

  24. Debate contribution: Air Connectivity: Dublin-Derry

    I thank the Member for his question. I certainly am confident that the Dublin-Derry route would help to unlock tremendous potential across the region and, importantly, help to exploit the significant investment that my Department has made, along with the Irish Government and others, across the private and public…

  25. Debate contribution: Mobile Phone Coverage: Attacks on Masts

    Again, I thank the Member for his question. Of course, if anybody has any information on those attacks, I urge them to bring it to the attention of the police. On the point that he made about 5G and the concerns that some people have had, off the back of the Adjournment debate and some of the media reporting, my…
