Text
I agree with the Member. It is really concerning. As he knows, an awful lot of effort and time went into developing those projects. We signed the heads of terms for the Causeway Coast and Glens growth deal back in April. There has been considerable investment in developing the business cases. Unfortunately, we still have a lot of questions on which we cannot give answers to deal partners. I met the chief executive of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council this morning and relayed my reassurance that I am doing all that I can to get the answers and get the pause lifted.
