It’s definitely a day for an MLA to bring their reading glasses to the chamber as they have four separate pieces of legislation to wade through. OFMDFM will bring the Commissioner for Older People Bill through its second stage, Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew will then move the Dogs (Amendment) Bill to the same juncture, Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy will drive the Roads (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill through consideration stage before Sir Reg Empey brings up the rear with the Employment Bill for its further consideration stage.
Next OFMDFM will open matters at the dispatch box before Sir Reg returns for oral questions.
The SDLP continue their purge of outspoken North Antrim MLA Declan O’Loan by replacing him on the largely defunct Assembly & Executive Review Committee.
The penultimate item of business is the Environment Committee chair asking for an extension for the Consideration stage of the High Hedges Bill before matters are brought to a conclusion by a SF motion on the cost of fuel in NI.
