Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagra.
It is heartening to hear that those discussions are ongoing, but, Minister, in your responses, you highlighted the fact that funding pressures are affecting Lough Neagh and other matters as a result of the loss of EU funding, owing to Brexit, and years of British austerity. Will you commit to continuing those discussions to ensure that funding is secured for the likes of dealing with Lough Neagh and helping farmers and those in rural communities, who absolutely need it?
