Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I am sure that he will appreciate that, beyond all the ecological stuff, there are businesses that, in order to survive, need to access Lough Neagh, whether it be for sand dredging, fishing or even leisure on the Sixmilewater river. Will the Minister update the House on his Department's role in the assent for dredging, which expired earlier this year? What stage is your Department at with preventing DFI from carrying out dredging in those areas?
