I thank the Member for that question. I have ongoing engagement with Tourism NI and Derry City and Strabane District Council. I am delighted that we are able to support those events in the north-west, given the significant value that they will add to the local economy. I am particularly excited about the 40th anniversary of Derry Halloween in October. The success of that event, which people from all over the world come to enjoy, shows how well we can do tourism locally and how we can support local events. We will continue to work in partnership with Tourism NI and Tourism Ireland and alongside the council to support anything that is necessary to deliver on forthcoming events this year in order to ensure that they are a success and that we can build on them for the future.
