  1. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    Cuirim fearadh na fáilte roimh ráiteas an Aire. The success of the strategy relies partly on our largest social housing provider being able to build again at scale. How soon do you envisage that we will have an update from Westminster about decisions on the revitalisation of the Housing Executive?

  2. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    Thank you, Minister for your statement. Will you confirm that you have included a place-based approach to retrofitting in the strategy? You will be aware that a place-based approach concentrates retrofitting in geographical areas one at a time to effectively deliver changes that are needed to meet climate change…

  3. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    As a member of the Committee for Communities, I join other Members in very much welcoming the publication of the housing supply strategy. I commend the Minister for publishing the strategy and welcome the fact that he has touched on various matters that are relevant to it. He will be aware of our manifesto commitment…

  4. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    I thank the Minister for his statement. I very much welcome it. Minister, we all know the importance of moving away from temporary accommodation and towards ensuring that there is more sustainable housing. Will you provide more specific detail on how your Department will deliver that element?

  5. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    Thank you very much, Minister, for your remarks so far. I will not give you a woo-hoo. Minister, it is good to see that you can utilise financial transactions capital. What sort of quantum of FTC is the Minister looking at applying for? Are the charities and associations suitably resourced to match it, within the FTC…

  6. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    I will start by saying woo-hoo. We have actually got good news today in the Chamber: we have a housing supply strategy. Minister, I am delighted that you have brought this to the House. We have been waiting for it for a long time, given our housing crisis. Now that we have the draft Programme for Government, which…

  7. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    The Minister will be well aware that there is a dearth of social housing in East Belfast and that, indeed, we are lagging considerably behind other areas in Belfast on social housing supply. Therefore, what does this strategy mean for East Belfast and will it result in more and new social housing in my constituency?

  8. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    Minister, I very much welcome the statement on the approval of the much-anticipated housing supply strategy, and I thank you and your predecessor for all the work that went into its development. I look forward to seeing its publication. Minister, can you confirm whether you will allocate additional moneys next year to…

  9. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    I thank the Minister for the statement, and I look forward to studying the strategy. The strategy must be ambitious, but it must be achievable. Without detail and certainty on the funding of social housing new builds; sustained investment in our water and waste water infrastructure, which is currently stifling…

  10. Debate contribution: Housing Supply Strategy

    I wish to make a statement to the Assembly about housing supply in Northern Ireland. We are all aware of the crisis that we face in housing: a large and growing waiting list for social homes; inflation-busting rent increases in the private rented sector; low-quality and poor energy efficiency; and record numbers in…

  11. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    As the only Member who does not receive financial assistance for political parties, my question is this: does the Member have a view on how we better support independents? I am the longest-serving independent Member — 10 years — and would gratefully receive that support.

  12. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    Thank you very much, Principal Deputy Speaker. I note the Members who have contributed to the debate. The Assembly Commission recognises the context of wider financial pressures in the public sector and has given careful consideration to those when presenting its budget requirements. However, the Commission must…

  13. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, and a point of contention. I have been in the Assembly long enough to realise when people may be pushing boundaries. It is your prerogative, as Chair, to address that, particularly in relation to Mr Gaston. We need to apply that equally, however, and I do not see…

  14. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    You did not want me to talk about McMonagle, but you are happy to let the Member for West Belfast go unchallenged for a long time. That is unfair and calls into question how you, as Principal Deputy Speaker, treat me. It is utterly unfair. You do not want to talk about McMonagle, but you let other Members talk without…

  15. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    Some aspects of the budget are fine and are even required, but I want to raise other aspects. The first is MLAs' pay. That is a bone of contention among some in the House who believe that the £500 increase included in the budget is probably not enough and want to go further. I note that Scotland has been mentioned in…

  16. Debate contribution: Northern Ireland Assembly Commission: Budget 2025-26

    When I read the Commission's briefing to assist the Audit Committee in its scrutiny of the Commission's budget, I noticed that the first paragraph quoted section 40(4) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998: "The Commission shall provide the Assembly, or ensure that the Assembly is provided, with the property, staff and…

The Assembly Commission has a duty under section 40 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 to provide the Assembly, or ensure that the Assembly is provided, with the property, staff and services required for the Assembly's purposes.

  18. Debate contribution: Public Petition: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome — Diagnosis and Management

    Thank you, Mr Speaker. It is an honour to be here today to present this petition on the diagnosis and management of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) in Northern Ireland on behalf of members of Ehlers-Danlos Support UK, particularly its campaigners in Northern Ireland. Currently, the number of signatures on the petition…
