Motion (Private Members' Motion): Delivery of an Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland

That this Assembly laments the failure to publish an Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland, promised in the Programme for Government and critical to the delivery of major infrastructure, economic development, long-term investment and job creation; expresses disappointment at the Executive’s failure to meaningfully advance pre-agreed flagship infrastructure projects, including the A5 Western Transport Corridor and Casement Park; regrets the Executive’s failure to implement the recommendations set out in the All-Island Strategic Rail Review, or to deliver increased investment in wastewater infrastructure; rejects the efforts by some to distract from the clear failure of Executive delivery with petty rows; and calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to publish an Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland without delay, with clear time-bound delivery plans.

The motion has not been assessed yet.
