Text

I thank the Minister for her response. Minister, you recently met the chief executive and senior officials from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to discuss potential tourism projects in South Down that will, as you say, complement Narrow Water bridge when it is completed in 2027. Does the Minister agree that investment in Kilbroney Park, for example, and the restoration of Warrenpoint's iconic baths will be transformative, with the potential to boost cross-border visitor numbers and drive local economic growth?
