  1. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    The Minister pushes a policy that will result in the slaughter of animals in Northern Ireland and the export of demand to the depleting rainforests of Brazil. Will he tell us how many jobs, he estimates, will be lost in the Northern Ireland agriculture sector if the climate action plan is implemented in its current…

  2. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    I thank the Minister for his statement. DAERA recently published the 'Northern Ireland Greenhouse Gas Inventory'. Based on the Department's document and data on the average rate of emissions reduction, Professor David Rooney, an energy expert in Queens University — I am sure that the Minister knows him — suggests…

    I thank the Member for his questions. As you are aware, those are discussions that I am having with my Executive colleagues. The pace that I run this marathon at has to be the pace that my Executive colleagues are prepared to join me at. I will continue to encourage others to follow at that pace. I am very ambitious…

  4. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Maybe it is age and I am not as quick on my feet as I thought I was, but thank you very much, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I obviously do not run as many marathons as the Agriculture and Environment Minister. Minister, thank you for your statement. There is a bit of a disjunction here. Your answers mention urgency…

    What you are getting is resolute action from me on climate change, and that is why I have come to the Assembly today to outline the work that I am doing in relation to it. If the Member cared about this issue, as he pretends he does, he would have read the judgement fully and read my written ministerial statement on 9…

  6. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Thank you very much indeed, Minister, and I thank Mr Dickson for asking the same sort of question that I am about to ask. Minister, on 27 June this year, the Lady Chief Justice quashed the marine licence associated with the gas caverns project in Islandmagee. In light of your comments in paragraph 5 of your…

  7. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Minister, it is disappointing and perhaps a little alarming that you are pressing on with unrealistic targets and refusing even to look at introducing primary legislation on more realistic targets. However, you have talked about broader representation on the just transition commission to include representatives of…

  8. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Thank you, Minister, for your statement. Given your — indeed, our party's — clear and unequivocal stated commitment to tackling climate change, will you set out the rationale for your decision to appeal the judgement that was handed down by the Court of Appeal in respect of the No Gas Caverns case in order to allay…

  9. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    I thank the Minister for his statement. Agriculture plays a key role in the Northern Ireland economy, and the agri-food sector employs over 100,000 people or thereabouts. Indeed, Northern Ireland produces food for 10 million people in the UK. Will the Minister undertake to work constructively with the sector and its…

  10. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    I thank the Minister for his statement. Given that the climate change targets that the Assembly set are somewhat unrealistic and are unlikely to be met, and given that the Minister has not yet secured a financial budget to deliver them, will he consider introducing amending legislation to adjust the targets in order…

  11. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire fosta. He will be aware that the Climate Change Act recognises the importance of treating the island of Ireland as a single biogeographical unit. It also requires that we harmonise climate action in the North with steps that are being taken in the rest of Ireland. Will the Minister please…

  12. Debate contribution: Climate Change

    Minister, thank you for your statement, particularly the part about the just transition. You will know that mental health is an issue of real primacy for me and young people. Will you outline to us what engagement will look like with young people and, in particular, young farmers? I am thinking about the Budget from…

    Madam Principal Deputy Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity to update the Assembly on progress on our commitments, arising from the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022. Today, world leaders are gathering in Baku, in Azerbaijan, for the twenty-ninth UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, otherwise…

  14. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Trade and Business Development

    Minister, since the introduction of the protocol, the budget for InterTradeIreland has ballooned by £1·8 million. Can the Minister put his politics aside for a moment and tell us what, if anything, he is doing to support businesses that are trading with the rest of the UK and face the challenges of the Irish Sea…

  15. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Trade and Business Development

    I thank the Minister for his answers so far. Minister, are there currently any vacancies on the InterTradeIreland board?

  16. Debate contribution: North/South Ministerial Council: Trade and Business Development

    I welcome the Minister's statement on the North/South Ministerial Council. The Minister referenced the Shared Island enterprise scheme funding of €30 million. I understand that the scheme is dedicated to fostering women's entrepreneurship on an all-island basis. Will the Minister give his assessment of uptake of the…
