Thank you very much for the answer. The premises were funded by public money, so at what stage will the names of those who are responsible for paying the money in the name of Ballymena Advice Centre be publicised? I have constituents the length and breadth of North Antrim who are hounded by LPS to pay their debts and their outstanding rate balance, yet it appears that this special case has been given undue leeway.

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.
