Speeches by Swann.

“In response to Sorcha’s question, the Chancellor yesterday mentioned two support mechanisms over here in terms of £150 per home, and the British industrial competitive scheme. How do you feel about seeing those schemes being mentioned over here but not being introduced? What more could be done with them?”

“So the majority of it is coming back to Northern Ireland schemes, or supports in regard to that.”

“When you said several million, then, what would be the split between formal and informal? What sort of percentage is formal and gets returned to Treasury?”

“Sorry. Where does that go?”

“John, in your earlier answer, you mentioned the £7 million fine that you had applied to suppliers.”

“With regard to sector resilience, David, you mentioned the kerosene. Is there any other alternative contingency planning or preparedness being made with regard to other sources rather than specifically looking to that supply from the middle east?”

“Gavin mentioned red diesel. The anomaly we also have back home is green diesel, and red diesel that gets the colour taken out of it. David, you mentioned the transport of fuel coming across from the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland. Is there anything being done with regard to increased surveillance regarding s…”

“In regard to that recoupling, in whose gift is that, or whose ask is it? Is anybody asking for it?”

“This is a very live issue in Northern Ireland. I do not get the same feeling that it is so live an issue here, even in Westminster with regard to the conversations that have been had. Why do you think that is? Why is Northern Ireland on the cusp? Why are we feeling it so sharply back home?”

“Even with regard to the production of HVO, surely it would then be more attractive for producers and manufacturers to put it into road fuel rather than heating oil, would it not, given the price differential?”

“T2. The Foreign Secretary has paid tribute to Sir Olly Robbins on a number of occasions. In that case, can I ask what the grounds were for his dismissal and what was contained in his dismissal letter? Was he allowed to state a case against his sacking?”

“It has been successful in the second round?”

“Following on from that point, Sinead, and no reflection on anybody currently in post or previously in post as chair or vice-chair, it is a very small pool because it is only from the independent members. Is there any consideration of looking for the chair and vice-chair as an independent recruitment process, possibly w…”

“What was that for?”

“Brendan, you mentioned the transformation projects that PSNI has on the go at the minute. When the Executive was reformed in January 2024, there was a transformation funding pot allocated to the Executive. Has PSNI been able to access that, bid for it or get any money from it?”

“Good morning, folks. Thank you very much for that very quick overview of the past 25 years of policing in Northern Ireland. I do not think any of us underestimates the dedication and support of our officers, the work of the board and especially, as you say, that political leadership that is needed. Representing a party…”
