Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Does she agree that the Manufacturing and Engineering, Growth and Advancement (MEGA) Group Mid Ulster, which is a cluster of engineering companies in the mid-Ulster area, is one of the best local examples of clustering? Does she agree that that is exactly why we need to listen to engineering companies about what we need and how we can work together with universities, local schools and the industry to ensure that the skills base required to keep our engineering companies going will be there in the future?
