Text

I appreciate what the Minister said about the development of that plan. It will save people from having to travel great distances, especially if their condition means that travelling is difficult. There is a need for that service, but we have been hearing about it for years and years. Do you have a timescale for that capital investment being made so that the people of the east coast of Down and the Lecale area can have that service and not have to travel for it?
