On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Every time I come to Question Time, it starts on time, and I am prepared for it. One thing that is becoming quite regular, however, and has occurred at a number of Question Times is that when I respond to Mr Buckley, he seeks to shout me down. I would like to get a…

We will do the consultation, evaluate the responses and consider the way forward. I am very conscious that a potentially significant cost is associated with the remediation. That will be a resource cost, so I will work with the Finance Minister on that because he is a decent kind of guy. That will allow us to progress…

Thank you very much, Gary. That is an important issue. We plan to consult on the remediation strategy for the Mobuoy site this spring, and it is key to do so. I am aware that phase 2 of the A6 dual carriageway project will encroach on the Mobuoy site. I declare an interest as my stepfather was a quality manager for…

I have set out a clear vision and 10 key pledges in the corporate plan. One of my concerns is about my Department's budgetary position. The Fiscal Council's report on the draft Budget for the next financial year laid bare the reality for my Department in tables 4.2 and 4.8: it has suffered the biggest cut of any…

I met the banks at the end of last year to discuss how they can support agriculture in Northern Ireland. That has turned into an ongoing engagement, not just with the four main banks but with HSBC and others, so that, collectively, we can support farmers in Northern Ireland.

Yes, I will continue to work with the council. My Department will do that. One lesson that has to be learnt from the storm concerns the real impact that it has had on our forestry estate and what we can do in response. Forest Service plans to plant native trees predominantly in areas where a previous forest crop has…

Thank you, Connie. Cairn Wood is one of the many forest areas that suffered significant damage during the recent storm, resulting in restrictions on pedestrian and vehicle access for public safety reasons. That caused access to be restricted to the forest track, walking trails and car park at Cairn Wood. Ards and…

The Climate Change Committee has issued advice on our fourth carbon budget and, most recently, on the UK-wide road to net zero. One of the key elements of that advice is on the benefits of decarbonisation of our energy systems, particularly electricity. There is a cost to doing that, but there are significant…

That is set out in the farm safety plan that the Department launched last year. It is really important, and I will send you a copy. There is stuff in the plan that concerns what you are asking about, but there is also the wider issue of messaging, in which we can all share. Collectively, we all have a role to play in…
