Text

I thank the Minister for his answer and for confirming that he has made representations on this. The National Wealth Fund provides much potential for many here. You have outlined your view that funding should be based on merit, but the reality is that public authorities and businesses in Northern Ireland are placed at a disadvantage. Is any work going on in the Department with those authorities and businesses to help them with that access — to provide them with support and guidance — to deliver the key objectives of the fund, which he has set out?
