On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I apologise for my mobile phone going off just before Mr Gaston had the opportunity to make a speech. I do not normally provide musical accompaniments, so please take my apologies.

A farcical element of the Executive is that, when it is the Programme for Government, it is everybody together, but, when it comes to budgets, everybody is on their own to deal with what money is left. Will the Minister explain why the 5·5% pay rise for health workers was not ring-fenced so that they would definitely…

Minister, you said that Departments will have to make savings. You cannot issue a diktat to cut budgets and then wash your hands of the consequences. It is, by any definition, austerity. I share the concerns about money not being allocated to health workers who were promised it. Minister, is the £17 million to…

I thank the Minister for her statement. Minister, can you confirm whether you have asked your officials to draw up options for using some of your Executive's £65 million capital underspend on constructing Casement Park or suggested same to the Communities Minister? If not, why not?

Minister, Westminster has been clear that no additional money is coming from them for Casement Park. Will you confirm that, in your statement today, there is likewise no additional money coming from Stormont and that, indeed, if the GAA wants Casement, it is up to it to fund it?

Minister, the funding last year for special educational needs was £65 million: that is 14% less than it needs to be this year, due to inflation and increased demand. While the £170 million announced today is certainly welcome, is it enough to meet the shortfall and the diverse needs and demands of our children,…

I thank the Minister for her statement. How much additional funding has the interim fiscal framework secured for public services?

Will the Minister confirm that she has advised Executive colleagues that the Department of Health's capacity to make more savings in this year is extremely limited if not non-existent?

I thank the Minister for her statement and welcome the significant investment in housing, as well as the £17 million for winter warmth to address or partly mitigate the British Government's disgraceful cut in that benefit and the money for tackling rural poverty and social isolation. Those are welcome. Can the…

I thank the Minister for her statement. I welcome any additional allocation for housing, but I am not entirely sure how an extra £24 million, as welcome as it is, will enable delivery of up to 1,400 houses, given the decimation of the baseline budget for housing. In this year initially, we had enough money to build…

Minister, thank you for your answers so far on the statement. One of the issues that could not be dealt with in the statement is your negotiations with Treasury on the PSNI data breach, holiday pay and the McCloud judgement. Can you tell the House what action you are taking to ensure that those matters will not…

I thank the Finance Minister for coming to the House this afternoon to update Members. It is disappointing, however, that some Ministers found it appropriate to give a running commentary of events before Members had been informed of the outcomes. Can the Finance Minister confirm that, of the £631·5 million allocated,…

I thank the Minister for her statement and welcome her commitment not only to health but to education. Is she able to outline the capital funding challenges to be faced?

I thank the Minister for her statement. Can the Minister set out the criteria that were used to determine the different allocations to each Department?

Thank you, Minister. Like previous contributors, I am glad to see the prioritisation of Health. I particularly look forward to seeing how the Minister will help healthcare workers maintain the parity for which they fought for so long. Will you require a plan from each Minister as to how they will live within their…

I thank the Minister for her answers so far. I welcome the follow-through on the commitment to prioritise Health, because you have prioritised it in the allocations. I welcome that, and I look forward to finding out how that money is going to be spent and prioritised. You outlined some of the consequences if the level…

Thank you, Minister. Are you concerned that if Ministers do not live within their budgets, it will have an impact on negotiations with the UK Government on a permanent fiscal framework and debt forgiveness?

Despite the pressures on public-sector pay, the Minister stated that she made no allocations to the budget of her Finance Department. Why not?

I thank the Minister for her remarks so far. Minister, you talked very clearly in your statement about prioritising public-sector pay. Does the Minister accept that, as a result of the Executive's Budget decisions, we are very likely to face fresh industrial action by health workers and other key members of the public…

Thank you, Minister, for the statement. I am sure that you would agree that, at a time of such constrained budgets, it would be outrageous if we were to return £48 million of FTC at the end of the financial year. Will you elaborate on what proposals you are working on with your Executive colleagues to utilise that…

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas. The statement is very welcome, particularly because the Finance Minister prioritised Health and Education. As a member of the Committee for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and a representative of a rural constituency, I also welcome the £2 million that is going…

I thank the Minister for her statement. In it, she says: "I have encouraged Ministers to prioritise pay", yet she also highlights the need for Ministers to prioritise their break-even position at year end. With the £791 million of overcommitments being offset by £627 million, that leaves £164 million of a shortfall.…

Minister, you said that you did not have enough to cover the shortfall this year. You also said that difficult decisions would have to be made. One decision that you have flirted with and talked about is reviewing how our rates system works and taking a broader look at how we might raise revenue and use new fiscal…
