Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. That is a really good example of where this institution works well: identify a problem, develop a framework, put resources in and work with partners on the ground to deliver it. In light of that, my local community development organisation, Brantry Area Rural Development Association, is rolling out a programme to almost 40 young boys and girls in association with White Ribbon. Will the First Minister and deputy First Minister accept an invitation to come and visit that project and see the impact of its work?
