Yes, I do. I have just referred to it. I welcome the Member to the Chamber, given that she has newly joined us. She is welcome, and I look forward to engaging with her. Yes, the hike in National Insurance contributions is and will be deeply concerning for many of our small businesses. All of us will have been…

Of course, nobody wants that, particularly not in those sensitive areas, but let us not make policy on the hoof. Let us be considered about how we do things. In order to bring forward such policies, you need to ensure that there is proper documentation and lists and that you are able to refer to records. Let us not…

Thank you, Minister. You do not keep a list: the response to the question for written answer that I tabled says that you do not. The question is this: will you take that position when you ask for funding applications in relation to ending violence against women and girls? People who are involved in domestic abuse,…

I am sure that, when funding is handed out by the TEO or any other Department, all due diligence is applied to any funding or grant application that is received by a Department.

No. I am really incredulous. At a time when public services are being cut left, right and centre; when we have endured 14 years of austerity; when winter fuel payments to older people are being cut; when lots of small local businesses will go to the wall, because they cannot afford the hike in National Insurance; and…

First, he focus of the international community should always be on working towards negotiation and peace settlements. That is my approach to such things. It is only through lasting peace and genuine and constructive engagement that you arrive at a peace solution. Our example here tells us that. The support of the…

Yes, I absolutely do. The deputy First Minister and I had the pleasure of being on site last week to see the plans for ourselves and to meet some of the staff. There is no doubt that it will be a real game changer in the care of our sick children, and it will bring a much improved experience at a difficult time for…

The announcement of a £671 million investment in a new state-of-the-art children's hospital is fantastic news for children and families across our society. It will provide children in need of care with the best facilities and the latest technology, offering them world-class healthcare here at home. It is obviously an…

Yes. We have demonstrated what we can do in the first 16 or 17 months. We have prioritised it; we have put money towards it; and we have made advances in it. However, we must not be complacent: we know that there is still a lot more to be done on that front. For our part, I can say to the Member that, yes, childcare…

That is one of the issues that is very much highlighted in our Programme for Government, which is being discussed today. Cutting childcare costs and keeping money in the pockets of struggling families has been a day-1 priority for our Executive. Recently, I was pleased that we were able to double the funds: we have…

We are yet to agree an Executive position. I assure you that both Governments will be aware of my views, and I am sure that every other party in the House will take the opportunity to make its views known also.

I thank the First Minister for that answer. First Minister, will you and the deputy First Minister commit to make representations to the Secretary of State so that it is not done in the name of us in the Assembly Chamber?

I will be absolutely clear: it is long past the time for such groups to exist in today's society. We are 27 years post the Good Friday Agreement. There is no space for those groups to exist in our society. They exist to keep their foot on the necks of the communities in which they live. We should do all that we can to…

Yes. I absolutely give that assurance. That has been a commitment from Sinn Féin Economy Ministers since day one, and Conor and now Caoimhe have continued that vital work. We will continue to work alongside others, because such things happen in partnership, and you get so much more done when you work in partnership.…

Yes. I was pleased that the Economy Minister, Dr Caoimhe Archibald, announced last week that the land had been purchased.

Let me finish my point. The rest of us are trying to get the work done.

That is more of a fool's question, to be honest. From day 1, I have said that I will work constructively with the Opposition, but there is making a point and using Question Time to best effect, and then there is getting up to play games. That question is playing games. I am determined to lead in the Executive and to…

I asked that question, First Minister, because, from the look of the Programme for Government document, which shows zero progress on Casement — it has exactly the same language as in the draft Programme for Government — zero progress on the Irish language, DUP/Tory bodies such as the East-West Council and Intertrade…
