Motion: Supporting Service Leavers, Veterans and their Families
Proposed:
That this Assembly recognises that the transferable skills developed by many armed forces service leavers and veterans can make an important contribution to our economy and build stronger communities; believes that those serving, service leavers, veterans and their families should not face disadvantage as a result of their military service when accessing services, including healthcare, education, and housing; welcomes, in this context, the legal duty placed on a range of public bodies in Northern Ireland to have due regard to the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant; calls on the Executive to ensure that departments meet this duty, including by appointing a departmental armed forces liaison officer; and further calls for closer collaboration between government, employers, education providers and veterans' organisations, which is essential to support the successful transition to civilian life, and in the interests of a shared and inclusive society.

Motion: Addressing the Impact of Holiday Homes and Short-term Lets
Proposed:
That this Assembly recognises the impact that holiday homes and short-term lets have on several rural and coastal communities in Northern Ireland; notes with concern that the growth in holiday homes and short-term lets is contributing to rising house prices, reduces the availability of affordable housing and threatens the social fabric of many communities; and calls on the Executive to, as a matter of urgency, bring forward proposals to address the impact of holiday homes and short-term lets in areas where they are having a negative effect.
