Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank Ms Sheerin for securing the Adjournment debate and those colleagues who spoke on the issue. Having been a constituency MLA for quite a number of years, I very much share Members' frustrations. I am now in a position to, hopefully, do something about it, which is what I have been…
I join others in thanking the Member opposite for bringing the Adjournment debate to the House today. Although, like the previous Member who spoke, I do not have the pleasure of representing the good folk of Mid Ulster, I am pleased to take part this evening and make a few brief remarks as the Ulster Unionist…
I do not want to speak for long: I certainly would not want to step on the toes of any of the Mid Ulster reps, and I will not go into examples from my constituency. Every Member who is here has highlighted the fact that, when you visit a school principal, they will complain about the ridiculous scenario in which, on…
I thank the Member for giving way. She makes an important point that there are huge savings to be made — we have heard the examples cited in the Chamber and in our communities — but it is not just a Department of Education problem. There is huge waste across government when it comes to procurement. I am thinking…
I thank my colleague Emma Sheerin for bringing the Adjournment debate to the House. The Member who spoke before me referred to the fact that this could save the Government money. It actually could save schools money. Procurement costs come out of the school budget, and we know how difficult schools are having it and…
I thank the Member for giving way. Would he go further and agree that not only are there the skills in local PTAs and local communities but there would be huge savings for government, given the huge costs of procurement?
I thank my constituency colleague for bringing the topic to the Chamber for debate. There are many challenges for the Education Authority regarding maintaining an ageing school estate and ongoing capital projects and enhancement programmes. Balancing the budget for major works and necessary maintenance can be tough.…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I appreciate the opportunity to bring the matter to the Chamber this afternoon. We are asking for a common-sense approach to our local schools. It goes without saying that the safety, well-being and health of our children, our pupils attending school and our staff working…
I thank Members for their contributions. As I explained at the outset, the regulations are essential to ensure that I can deliver for our farming community by opening the farm sustainability transition payment as planned on 3 March and provide the legal basis for the roll-out of other schemes under the sustainable…
I rise with some hesitation to support the regulation and to make some brief remarks. Although there are positive developments in the proposed regulations, there are also issues that require further scrutiny by the AERA Committee, as Committee members outlined, to ensure that our agriculture policy reflects the future…
As a member of the AERA Committee and as Alliance's AERA spokesperson, I speak in support of the new farm sustainability regulations. It has been discussed and recognised many times in the Chamber and much further afield that the climate crisis is a real threat to our everyday way of life, demands our immediate…
I thank the Member for giving way. Does the Member agree that there is great concern about the proposed "active farmer" issue and that those deemed by the Department to be inactive have a very short time frame in which to transfer their entitlements?
I rise to speak on the SR that is before us. I am on the record in the Chamber highlighting — I have stood on my soapbox on a near-weekly basis in the Committee highlighting — how poorly we deal with scrutiny of statutory rules in this place. Subordinate — or secondary — legislation is hugely important in the delivery…
I welcome the opportunity to speak in the debate and, in particular, to highlight my party's concerns about the effect that the SR will have on young farmers and, indeed, on the regional reserve. No doubt, the Minister has listened to us wax lyrical about that over the past two or three weeks. A major issue is the…
I rise to speak on the farm support and development programme and the Farm Sustainability (Transitional Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025. The statutory rule, laid by the AERA Minister, represents a key moment in the North's agricultural transition. It will provide the legal authority to implement the…
