Text

Minister, you remarked on departmental business, and I know that you have a lot in front of you. Have you had much correspondence from applicants to the rural business scheme? I have been contacted by constituents who have been unsuccessful. Despite being told that they had scored highly enough, they were told that the pot was too small, particularly in my constituency of Mid Ulster. Will you engage with Mid Ulster District Council to potentially increase the pot so that more of my constituents can benefit from that important scheme?
