Sinn Fein out attacking the DUP AGAIN...!! Surprise, surprise! A positive visit to Carryduff on one of the Executive agreed transformation projects just announced - EPharmacy - this will transform prescriptions and other services including introducing e-perscriptions. Back in the car to see Sinn Fein attacks...again! 🙄... Let's be clear - we are being asked to agree proposals in the Executive. That WILL mean scrutiny and I will take the time to do that. The Sinn Fein Minister sat on this in the Department for 2 and a half years, we have had it a few weeks. I will always discharge my duty to scrutinise and ask questions on proposals. I have a meeting set up on Monday with Economy officials - the Sinn Fein Minister is aware of that. The big question for Sinn Fein to answer is why there is not a single business out in support of this bill?

The A1 upgrade and safety works, the Enniskillen Bypass, Lagan pedestrian bridge, the A5 and more - ALL currently PAUSED by Sinn Fein Infrastructure Minister waiting, waiting, waiting on the courts to decide. 😡 Safety CANNOT wait. Safety SHOULD not wait. The Assembly can and should amend the Climate Change legislation to address the issue and create certainly that will allow these projects to go ahead- not wait for years on the courts. The option of addressing this issue is in the hands of Liz Kimmons and the Assembly - we need to get on with it urgently, not put the future of key infrastructure in the hands of the courts.

That's me home from Day 3 of the show! It has been fantastic speaking to so many of you! Reflecting too on this "manufactured row" Sinn Fein are trying to get going, targeting Gordon Lyons in particular. Not for the first time! Gordon has made clear the place names project decision did not come anywhere near him. Maybe a bit of deflection and distraction by Sinn Fein because of a lack of delivery in their departments but, but who knows! The DUP will continue to drive forward with delivery 👇👇👇

Unionism CAN win a MLA seat in West Belfast - boundary change has brought in more unionists into West Belfast but it needs you get out and voting for Frank in the election next year. Let's get behind this campaign, and get a unionist voice back for the West at Stormont - out campaigning today on the Shankill and wider area 👇👇

Some initial thoughts on the Supreme Court judgement today - ir is now essential for the Equality Commission to take note and to act now accordingly. Also important to note that while this case was about legacy, the legal point was on the scope of the "rights" section (art 2) of the Windsor Framework. Important and welcome decision today. That is entirely separate from the need for victims and survivors to be supported and the "access to justice" point - important to ensure everyone is clear on what the court was adjudicating on. While the families will undoubtedly be disappointed, the court has ruled in an important way against the wide and expansionist approach to art 2 WF.

It simply isn't good enough that there isn't a power to suspend an Ombudsman, Commissioner or public appointee on the commencement of a civil or criminal investigation. When this gap in the legislation came to light over a year ago, I moved immediately to see what actions we could take. I am pleased to have secured the support within the Executive Office on bringing forward new legislation to address this gap and ensure we can suspend any Ombudsman, Commissioner and public appointee if a formal civil or criminal investigation is commenced. New legislation takes time, that is why the DUP is taking additional action. Diane Forsythe MLA is taking the lead for the DUP on an amendment to legislation currently going through the assembly and has been working with drafters on an amendment to bring this in as soon as possible. Some more details here 👇👇👇
