On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Can I seek your guidance on a matter of ministerial accountability? The AERA Minister recently refused to answer Assembly questions seeking basic factual information about the operation of his Department, instead citing an ongoing independent review. The information requested concerns…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: El Niño Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: El Niño
My officials have continued to engage with residents and representatives, including you, to further develop that community resilience in Antrim. Having been there when the flooding occurred earlier this year, I know how detrimental the impact of that has been. Additional support includes resources being provided…

Minister, you have worked closely with me and local residents in Antrim town specifically, which has been the subject of very severe flooding in recent months.

Assessment details for Debate contribution: El Niño Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: El Niño
El Niño is an example of the more frequent and intense rainfall events that are a consequence of increasing climate change. Therefore, preparedness and resilience have never been more important.

As I said, I can get the detail from officials. Obviously, a number of things have had an impact on our ability to progress all the different schemes, and the priority has been the A5 appeal process. However, I will get an update on the bypass because I appreciate that a lot of the work may have already happened. I…

I thank the Minister for the response. Minister, your answer in April was that an updated route assessment and cost estimate would be required before there could be any announcement about a Ballykelly bypass. Has the work on that started? Do you have a timetable for the work?

I am happy to look at that now that we have a clear way forward. Obviously, during the rest of the mandate, a number of schemes have already been confirmed, are ready to go and are at various stages of progress. However, other potential schemes that will bring benefits are kept under review. I will get an update from…

I can come back to the Member with the specifics of that. Obviously, we have a number of schemes already in train that are priorities for the Department. Has the Member asked about a bypass for Ballykelly or a specific scheme?

Yes. I have said repeatedly that you cannot put a price on a life. Last Tuesday evening, after the judgement, I had the privilege of joining some of the families at Tyrone GAA’s clubhouse. I met and listened to them, and the relief that they felt brought home to me the importance of the scheme. I pay tribute to the…

Minister, thank you for the update. I am sure that, like me, you have listened to the experts, such as civil engineers, accountants and compulsory purchase order experts. The main concern has always been safety: do you agree that a price cannot be put on the safety of the drivers and pedestrians who use the A5?

I am absolutely delighted with the Court of Appeal's judgement last week. It represents a significant milestone for that vital road safety and infrastructure project. The judgement provided legal clarity and vindicates my Department's position throughout that it complied with the requirements of the Climate Change Act…

I certainly will. If other incidents have not been officially reported, I encourage the Member to report those through my private office so that we have a record of them and can stand over that. I can only go on the information that I have. I am not sure whether there have been any incidents since 30 September. If…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Flooding: East Link Road, Dundonald Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Flooding: East Link Road, Dundonald
I thank the Minister for her answer, but my constituents have reported more regular issues than that. I am not sure whether those are down to reasons other than a burst water main, but I encourage her to take the issue back to NI Water. There is growing frustration about the fact that that busy road floods quite…

That is an operational matter for NI Water. However, we sought an update, and NI Water advised that, in the past five years, five incidents at that location can be attributed to burst water mains. The most recent incident, as the Member will be aware, was on 30 September, when contractors working on behalf of NI Water…

That proposal has not come to me, but I am happy to speak to officials about it in order to scope out what it would entail and look like. It is important to reflect on the Member's comment that, on the whole, our taxi services are highly reputable and very safe, and they ensure that people, be they a child, an elderly…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Taxi Drivers: Convictions Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Taxi Drivers: Convictions
I thank the Minister for her answer. As she said, taxi drivers hold positions of trust and, of course, in the main, operate without issue as they regularly transport a range of vulnerable passengers, such as children, those with additional needs and, as the Minister rightly said, people coming home from a night out.…

I thank the Member for his question: it is an important issue. People getting into a taxi trust that they will get home safely or get safely to wherever they are going. It is something that I take seriously, particularly because gaps have been identified. Officials are engaging with key stakeholders including…

Assessment details for Debate contribution: Flood Forecasting Service Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Flood Forecasting Service
The key role of a flood forecasting service is to ensure that, where there is a potential flood risk, people are aware of it. It is about getting alerts out to people and having the foresight to prepare for and be more resilient to such events. Protecting people, businesses and homes from flooding more widely is a…
Assessment details for Debate contribution: Flood Forecasting Service Official Assembly record for Debate contribution: Flood Forecasting Service
Minister, flooding has been devastating across the North, including in our constituency, with Newry and Camlough experiencing major flood events in recent years.

The Member will know, having been briefed, I am sure, at Committee, that it is something that the Department has been working on and that it is a priority.

The announcements to date were not made on a constituency basis. They are done by division, and the Member will be aware that there are four departmental divisions across the North. They were based purely on schools that scored highest. As I said in my response, we focused on schools on rural roads where there was a…

Thank you, Minister. During this mandate, no school in North Down has been the subject of an announcement about a 20 mph speed limit. Plenty of schools in my constituency are asking for that, including Crawfordsburn Primary School. When will you announce that further schools in my constituency will have that speed…
