  3. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    I thank the Member for giving way. I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole. Does the Member share my shock, horror and surprise at discovering that Alliance councillors in Mid and East Antrim Borough Council voiced concern about and opposed a wind farm a couple of years ago?

  4. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will start by saying, "Thank you" to everyone who contributed to the debate. It has been a very valuable debate that flagged up a number of issues. I will pick up on them as I go through my speech. My colleague Sinéad mentioned how we are really falling behind the pace of…

  5. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. To ensure that green energy transition does not create shocks in our system, it is important that we have such a debate in the Chamber. Our amendment pinpoints where we need to do better in order to have a true just transition. We have included in it the need for Departments to work with…

  6. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. Because I only have three minutes, I will speak really fast, and I will not take interventions. I start by saying that, when King Charles confirmed his Government and gave a commitment to clean energy transition, I did not see him salivating. I thought that that may be…

  7. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I too welcome the opportunity to speak about this important issue. It is clear that we need to accelerate progress if we are to meet our climate targets and ensure energy security for the future, so I am pleased that the Assembly has committed to supporting industry to…

  8. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    The motion should cause anyone who supports it or, indeed, the amendments in the Order Paper to pause for thought. I say that because the record of this place is anything but impressive when it comes to renewable energy. However, such is the madness of many to be seen to be in tune with the green lobby that the mere…

  9. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    I appreciate the Member's giving way. I apologise for not being quicker to respond when his colleague invited an intervention. I was digging out the piece to which he referred: Derry City and Strabane District Council voted for a: "presumption against any developments unless ... they would not adversely impact or…

  11. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    I welcome and support the motion. Growing our capacity to produce, store and distribute renewable energy is absolutely vital to our climate, environment and economy. It is alarming to see that the share of electricity consumption that comes from renewables has been steadily decreasing over the past few years. We…

  12. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    I thank the proposer of the motion. We all agree that a green energy transition is vital to help us to reach our climate targets and fulfil our statutory commitments as agreed by the Assembly. The climate crisis that we face is bleak, and it calls for action. It is right that we aim to increase our renewable…

  13. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I welcome the motion, the Opposition's tabling the item for discussion, and their support for and endorsement of a key Programme for Government commitment that relates to the climate action plan and the agreed position of all Executive parties on what we need to do to meet…

  16. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I have spoken many times in the Chamber on Alliance's position on renewables. As this is an SDLP mini-motion and time is limited, I will pick up on just a couple of issues. Alliance submitted its amendment in order to enhance the motion. Very simply, the "80 by 30" target cannot be…

  18. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members for tabling the motion. I am, however, disappointed that they will not support the DUP amendment. A thread runs through our amendment that is about making sure that a just transition is affordable for local communities. In speaking to the motion and our amendment, I…

  20. Debate contribution: Green Energy Transition

    I beg to move I am deeply concerned about Northern Ireland's renewable energy future. While the Programme for Government (PFG) commits to upscaling renewables production, the reality is that we are failing to act with the urgency required. At our current rate, we will not reach net zero until 2118. Scotland is…

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker, I would like you to review the Hansard report of the deputy First Minister's comments to me during the Programme for Government debate on 3 March, when she claimed that, in the Programme for Government: "there is reference to fulfilling the New Decade, New Approach commitment that was…

    On a point of order, Mr Speaker. We are all human, but today the Infrastructure Minister failed to answer a question in the Chamber. I understand that Ministers are briefed before they come into the Chamber for Question Time. The question was not withdrawn, and I wanted to ask a supplementary question on it. We all…

    • Mrs Naomi Long Alliance
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I thank the Member for his question. I was fortunate last week, as were a number of other Members in the Chamber, to be present at Walkway Community Centre for an event on violence against women and girls. I was asked quite a similar question, and I suppose that I gave three Ss. The first is sentencing. Whilst we have…
