Text

Minister, you have worked closely with me and local residents in Antrim town specifically, which has been the subject of very severe flooding in recent months. Can you give me an assurance that, as we move through the rest of this year, you and your officials will prioritise flood alleviation and defence measures in Antrim town, specifically Meadowside, Riverside, Dunadry and Massereene Street?
