Stakeholder

Legislation is like London buses, you hang around on Monday with no sign of it and two turn up on a Tuesday looking at Rates and Water Charges. Enterprise questions will see Minister Arlene Foster look at renewable energy targets and unemployment levels among others. The Public Accounts Committee presents its homework to be signed by the Assembly, SF have a private members motion calling for a social energy tariff and business is concluded with a DUP adjournment debate on flooding in East Belfast.
