Text

Thank you very much indeed. Aside from my shock at being asked to ask question 13, I should have made a declaration of interest as having a close relationship with Larne Swimming Club. Minister, although they have now been reopened, some swimming clubs, particularly Larne, have lost considerable revenue due to the violence. Is there any indication of whether Sport NI could give some assistance to members of staff in the clubs in particular, many of whom are on low-level contracts?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
