  Will the Member give way?

• Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Cavity Insulation: NIHE Properties 24 Jan 2017

  Does the Member agree with me that, while the situation in the tower blocks is dire, many homes in rural areas are solid wall with no cavity wall insulation — indeed, no insulation at all — and that something needs to be done to rectify that, especially given that COPD, asthma and other respiratory conditions can result from it?

• Northern Ireland Assembly: Oral Answers to Questions — Communities: Social Strategy 5 Dec 2016

  The Minister talked about going out to public consultation, and he said that he wants it to be a full consultation. How does he intend to consult with harder-to-reach rural communities?
