  1. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Ensuring that people are kept informed and that disruption is minimised is the least that I would expect. If, however, that has not been happening, or if there are difficulties, I will ensure that my officials liaise with the developer to make sure that any further issues are communicated to residents as effectively…

  2. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    As you said, Minister, that work is being done by a developer, but it builds on the road safety work that your Department is doing in the wider Four Winds and Carryduff areas. Will you be working with the developer to ensure that that January deadline is met? If there is any potential slippage, will you insist that…

  3. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I hope that my previous answer has provided some kind of assurance about when they can expect the works to be completed, although, obviously, we keep the timescale under review. I appreciate the disruption that such schemes can cause, particularly given their complexity. If there are any unforeseen issues, we will…

  4. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    I thank the Minister for her response. The works at the Four Winds roundabout have been extremely disruptive to the school run, to businesses, which are losing money, and to bus services. How can the Minister's Department hold developers to account to make sure that the works are delivered in a timely fashion?…

  5. Debate contribution: Four Winds Roundabout

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    The works at Four Winds and Newton Park are developer-led works associated with planning approval for neighbouring residential developments. The scope of the works includes widening the existing roundabout; increasing capacity from one lane to two running lanes on all approaches; making alterations to footways; and…

  6. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I sometimes wonder whether we have forgotten what this place is for. Not why we created it — we know the history — but what it is actually for. Somewhere along the way, we appear to have confused the sharing of power with the exercise of leadership. We have become very good at…

  7. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    I note that the motion carries a desire to build political consensus. In that regard, every Member of the House should be aware of these words: "The tragedies of the past have left a deep and profoundly regrettable legacy of suffering. We must never forget those who have died or been injured, and their families. But…

  8. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    It is just a quick one. Do you acknowledge the difference between the collapse of a service and a planned transformation? What we are seeing, in the greater part, is the collapse of services, whereas, if we had what we are talking about, which is a planned transformation, that will be all of us moving in the direction…

  10. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    Thank you. I suppose that that is why I raised the issue of the lack of the investment strategy, because we need to move beyond each political cycle. Civil servants will come and go and Budgets will fluctuate, but we need a course of action to ensure that this generation and future generations have the facilities and…

  11. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    I thank the Member for giving way. I do not know specifically what contradictions the Member is talking about, but, just to clarify on the line that says, "continued political disagreement" not being "a barrier to necessary reform", we are endeavouring to say that, where political disagreement should end or cease is…

  12. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    I support the motion, although I find some elements of it vague and contradictory. I was hoping that the proposer would clear those up for me. Unfortunately, he did not. No one can dispute that Northern Ireland's DUP/Sinn Féin duopoly leaves increasingly difficult challenges untouched while it engages in a series of…

  13. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    It was pretty impossible to keep a straight face during the leader of the Opposition's opening remarks, when he talked once again about "constructive Opposition" and the lack of "toxicity". Maybe he should rewind half an hour to the outburst from his colleague Daniel McCrossan. Toxicity spewed out of him in all…

  14. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    Building political consensus was a central part of the Good Friday Agreement, as endorsed by the people across Ireland. At its heart were power-sharing, the protection of minority rights and, of course, the three key strands of power-sharing institutions, North/South bodies and east-west bodies. Sinn Féin embraced the…

  15. Debate contribution: Building Political Consensus

    I beg to move I am proud to move another motion. It follows neatly from the previous motion marking 20 years since the St Andrews Agreement, with all its flaws, and recognising the progress that we have made and that which we definitely have not made. After last night's difficult debate and the past few weeks of…
