Part of Adjournment – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 2:45 pm on 2 June 2009.
I hope the Member appreciates, first, that I have deserted canvassers in East Antrim, and secondly, that I have had to come out of the sunshine in order to listen to him talk about gold-mining in his constituency. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to hearing his comments, although I hope that his speech proves to be interesting enough to justify drawing me away from the country lanes of East Antrim into the Assembly Chamber.
