Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I direct him to his Department's Building Successful Communities programme, which had six pilot areas, including one in the Doury Road area of my North Antrim constituency. The programme was able to bring together people from the Protestant, Catholic and Travelling communities. It was a major success in Doury Road and, indeed, in Ballymena. Will the Minister consider another pilot scheme of that ilk to assist and support communities that, like Ballymena, have many concerns.
