As the Member will be aware, we recently published the subregional economic plan, which is our approach to promoting regional balance. Just yesterday, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council had the first meeting of its local economic partnership. That enables the local council, along with partners, to develop plans for the local economy, and we are really keen to support that. We have put £45 million of funding towards doing that. We are working with Invest NI. As you know, it has aligned with the Department's strategy and the four priorities that we have, including regional balance. Invest NI now has a target to deliver 65% of investments outside of Belfast. It has specific targets for each council area, and we will work with it, alongside the local economic partnerships, to develop the offering for each of the local councils. Obviously, that includes Roe valley. I am very familiar, as you are, with that particular area and the strengths that lie within it. We are also working with Tourism Ireland and Tourism NI on promoting the tourism offering.
