Addressing Regional Imbalance

That this Assembly notes with concern the recent resignation from the Invest NI Board due to concerns regarding regional imbalance; further notes that recent Executive decisions, including the allocation of the Northern Ireland Football Fund, appear to have paid little regard to the need for regional balance; calls on the Minister for the Economy to urgently publish an assessment on the progress of the Sub-Regional Economic Plan; and further calls on the Minister to outline what steps she will take to ensure all Executive departments contribute to its successful implementation, including any proposals that aim to strengthen accountability where regional balance is not being delivered.
