Text

I thank the Minister for his statement. As a representative of Mid Ulster who is from the Coalisland area, I have a specific interest in the Blackwater where it goes into Lough Neagh and in the extension of the Ulster canal. Coalisland has a rich history around that. Minister, on the back of your previous answers, can you tell us whether the Irish Government will work with you on access to Lough Neagh through the Blackwater and coming the other way? Lough Neagh Rescue has a real problem in accessing the River Blackwater in order to be part of rescue efforts when somebody gets into trouble.
