Text

I am always happy to allow officials to engage with councils to see what role, if any, we can play in that regard. It is not solely a matter for my Department; there are ways in which the Department for Infrastructure and the Department for the Economy can work together. We saw that most recently in some of the work that was done in Belfast. I cannot speak for those Departments, but, if the Member would like to get in contact with my office, I will be happy to see whether and how officials may be able to assist him in that.
