I note that the Member used the term "confidential settlement". Will we never understand or get to the truth of the detail of how much of the bill is being paid from the public purse and how much is being paid by the contractor who caused the damage to the roof of the Building?
I thank the Minister for her answer. All efforts to date in the mid and east Antrim area have been led by the local council.
