Text
I agree that we should be given more powers, and if the Member wishes to take more powers from the British Government, I am happy to have his support; that has been an ambition of ours for some time. In this instance, Intertrade UK is not within my responsibilities. My responsibility involves InterTradeIreland and encouraging all-Ireland economic growth, which has been increasing at a significant rate in past years. Given the protocol arrangements, there is further opportunity for growth on the island, to the benefit of all the people who live in every constituency across the island. I do not have responsibility for Intertrade UK, but I am very much up for discussion of the Assembly's taking powers back from the British Government and exercising them on behalf of our people.
