Text

I am grateful to the Minister for the practical options that she outlined for those affected. She will be aware that the closure of Connswater is a significant body blow to the people of East Belfast and beyond. In addition to the good work that is done by East Belfast Enterprise and EastSide Partnership, what action can be taken and what work can be done by her Department to restore what used to be thriving areas in inner east Belfast, including the Newtownards Road, to help to create good jobs for people in the area?
