I was delighted that my party colleague on Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Councillor Conor Galbraith tabled a motion that resulted in the appointment of a night-time economy champion to help redevelop Downpatrick, which has been struggling to attract a night-time economy that would assist local businesses and the local community. Minister, will your Department be able to offer any support? Towns such as Downpatrick need a little bit of support to be able to move forward, and any finance that would help that work would be really appreciated.
