Text
Mr Honeyford asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, having noted the deputy First Minister's answer to a question about a month ago on the Maze/Long Kesh site about the need to deal with sensitivities and build consensus and her desire to see the site developed, repeating lines that she has said previously, whether they can update the House on action that has been taken in the past month to progress the site since the deputy First Minister's answer in the Chamber.
