Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Much is said about regional balance for the north-west, but, in representing South Down, I am concerned that the south-east does not feature so highly on the agenda. I am keen to make sure that the money is drawn down and drawn down fast and that it hits the rural communities. Does the Minister have any specific targets or engagement for the south-east of the Province?
