Thank you very much, Mr Durkan. I would like to point out one thing. Every DUP Member who has spoken in the debate has done so in support of the Bill. I do not know why Mr Delargy is getting on his political high horse. It is bash-the-DUP day. Fortunately, I do not get into, "He said, she said" nonsense, but I can assure you that your Bill will receive my support and the DUP's support as you take it through the House. As for the enterprise zone at Coleraine, it never had a sod turned, so that is a red herring.
