The votes on those matters, However, I see that some other Members have which will be on a cross-community basis, may not made it here. take place later today. I beg to move That the Second Stage of the Budget Bill 2011 be agreed. Accelerated passage of the Bill is needed to ensure Royal Assent as early as possible in March and, therefore, legal authority for Departments and other public bodies to draw down and spend the cash and use the resources in the Bill in 2010-11 and to ensure the continuation of public services into 2011-12. As the House is by now well aware, preparation of the detailed Estimates and the related Budget Bill under consideration today, sandwiched between the December monitoring outcome announced to the Assembly as late as 17 January and the urgent need for Royal Assent of the Bill as quickly as possible to allow drawdown on the additional cash voted, is a difficult task for all concerned. I am, therefore, grateful that the Committee for Finance and Personnel has confirmed, in line with Standing Order 42, that it is satisfied that there has been appropriate consultation with it on the public expenditure proposals in the Bill and is content that the Bill may proceed by accelerated passage. I welcome and appreciate the assistance of the Committee in the matter. I will now briefly outline the purpose of the legislation and draw attention to the main provisions of the Bill.

  • Dealing with the Reality NORTHERN IRELAND ENVIRONMENT LINK CONFERENCE REPORT Foreword
    Conference Proceedings April 2009 Climate Change: Dealing with the Reality NORTHERN IRELAND ENVIRONMENT LINK CONFERENCE REPORT Foreword Scientific and international political opinion agree that climate change is happening, that it is largely caused by human activities and that the implications are far ranging and very serious. Although there are uncertainties around the speed of change, the severity of that change and the nature and extent of its impacts, we cannot delay action to address the issues. An internationally renowned group of scientists assembled in W5 (Odyssey Complex), Belfast for Climate Change: Dealing with the Reality on 20th January 2009 to discuss the issues; this document is a summary of their thoughts. There are opportunities for Northern Ireland to be in the vanguard of both adaptation and mitigation technologies, bringing strong economic benefits to local companies. There are also opportunities to adopt policies and programmes that address the social and economic consequences of climate change while bringing benefits to Northern Ireland’s citizens. Grasping these opportunities requires strong and mature political leadership and offers Northern Ireland an opportunity to establish itself as a serious international leader. Climate change is just one of the many challenges facing Northern Ireland at this time and therefore cannot be dealt with in isolation. It provides a context within which specific issues — such as the increasing role of local authorities, tackling waste, changes in agriculture and the economic recession — can be better understood and more effectively addressed. Acknowledgements This report was compiled and designed by David McCann, and edited by David McCann and Sue Christie. We would like to thank all of the speakers at the conference both for the time and effort they put into producing their presentations and for writing their subsequent articles.

  • BASELINE REPORT Economic Wellbeing February 2017
    BASELINE REPORT Economic Wellbeing February 2017 Love Living Please Note Some of the data in this document is sourced from sample survey data. Data from a sample survey means that the whole population of Northern Ireland has not been asked. Therefore, when looking at the figures, the confidence intervals/ranges associated with the figures should be noted. A confidence interval represents the range of values in which the true population value is likely to lie. It is based on the sample estimate and the confidence level. Example: For example, the employment rate for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council in 2015 was estimated to be 70.7%. This figure had a stated 95% confidence interval of +/- 5.8 percentage points. This means that we would expect that in 95% of samples, the true employment rate for 2015 for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council was between 64.9% and 76.5%. Also, due to some of the small numbers presented in some of the sub-categories, some caution should be taken when interpreting the figures. Analysis by Local Government District In most of the datasets used, individual records are attributed to Local Government Districts on the basis of their postcode. However, in some cases the postcode may be missing/invalid and cannot be assigned to a Local Government District but are included in the Northern Ireland totals. As an example, in the School Leavers data (Department of Education), approximately 0.6% of pupils have incomplete or missing postcode information. Therefore, the sum of the School Leavers in each of the Local Government Districts in 2014/15 is 22,224 pupils.
