Is it the case that, due to climate change targets and renewable energy targets, the Minister's Department is putting pressure on the integrated single electricity market (I-SEM) and SONI to use indigenous renewable energy instead of using cheaper interconnected energy?

Since the very first day that the Government in London came into office, we have engaged with them on those ideas. The Bill was front-loaded in the sense that there would be legislation, and now that has been backfilled, if you like, with detail. We continue to engage on it. Of particular interest are the community…

Recently, the Great British Energy Bill was in front of the Economy Committee. We are looking through the outworkings of it. Will the Minister tell us what advantage that Bill will bring us? Will there be an uplift in investment here? What difference will it make to energy security here?

The Department will publish a consultation imminently on increasing the level of socialisation of reinforcement costs for customers who are connecting to the distribution electricity network. It will review a number of options for sharing the reinforcement costs of the distribution network among all network users. My…

We engage regularly with the Utility Regulator and the supply side for electricity and energy generally — we do something similar with gas — to try to make sure that there is confidence that supplies will remain sufficient to meet our needs. Of course, we cannot predict what weather circumstances might arise, but we…

I thank the Minister for his reply. He will be aware that there has always been a lot difficulty around planned maintenance, particularly in relation to Coolkeeragh power station. It is probably due to have some planned maintenance. There is a significant problem, because, if it goes down for any particular reason,…

The security of the electricity supply is a risk that is managed collaboratively by the Government, the Utility Regulator and the System Operator for Northern Ireland (SONI), which provides electricity transmission. Last week, SONI published a revised winter assessment, following significant damage caused by storm…

We have started that work. Unfortunately, it has taken us a bit longer than we all would have wanted. In June 2024, Ministers agreed to run a new competition to appoint a Commissioner for Public Appointments. Preparations are well progressed. Since the previous commissioner stepped down from her role, the day-to-day…

I have answered the question. As I have said before in the House — I said it when I took up post as First Minister — I am sorry for every lost life, without exception. That is my position. We need to be a bit more sensitive. If Members look at the trauma-informed strategy for victims and survivors that we produced,…

I will push the First Minister more on that. She talks about taking a victim-centred approach and showing sensitivity to those who have suffered. Does she not recognise that, when individuals who engaged in terrorism are individually lauded and honoured by those in political leadership, it causes only hurt to the…

I have made the point that we should be sensitive to the fact that, when we talk about individuals who were killed in the course of the conflict, regardless of how or by whom, it is important to be respectful of the fact that they are individuals with a family: a mother and a father, siblings and perhaps children. We…

We were a long time in a period of uncertainty. It then took us a long time to get to the point at which we had the Windsor framework. The mechanisms that have been agreed are agreed. They are the democratic mechanisms through which to deal with the issues. The Stormont brake will not be pulled on this occasion, but…

I think that I thank the First Minister for her remarks. My question was on the role of the democratic institutions and, in particular, the safeguards that were supposed to be in place. When the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee clearly does not work and does not do what it is supposed to do, the key…

When issues are identified, we should find pragmatic and reasonable ways in which to deal with them. The Secretary of State has made his call, as he can, on the Stormont brake. We now need to find ways to make things work. Where pragmatism is required, let us find ways to do that. Let us not have stop-start; let us…

We have had over 70 public engagements and 1,400 consultation responses. That is a lot to get through. We have been working our way through those, analysing them as they have come in as opposed to waiting to the end. That, hopefully, will allow us to move to the next stage. The final document will, in the main,…

We are working on it as we speak. We have an Executive meeting this week, but I am not yet sure whether it will make it to that meeting. Needless to say, we intend to get it published ASAP. I hope that that will be in the coming weeks.

I believe in all families having justice and truth. That is why we have to find a way to properly deal with the past. We had that with the Stormont House Agreement, but, unfortunately, others walked away from it, mainly the British Government and yourselves. We have to acknowledge that we have so much hurt and pain…

First Minister, the victims of IRA violence will listen carefully to what you have said but will realise that they are hearing the same old platitudes. You could change that today in the Chamber. Given that your party did not cooperate with the Kingsmills inquest, will you call on the Police Ombudsman to release the…

There is no escaping the fact that we have had a very turbulent and difficult past. It is also very important that we remember that much trauma and suffering has been inflicted on so many people across our society. My job, as a political leader in 2025, is to try to heal the wounds of the past and allow a space for us…

Again, this is a personal view and not that of the Executive Office. My view has always been that the Assembly and Executive Review Committee is the place in which we should do that work, and my colleagues should participate accordingly.

As you know, there is not, perhaps, a collective view on reform in the Executive Office.

I do not have the exact details in front of me, but promotion of the scheme to ensure that people are alerted to it has been wide-ranging.
