Text

I thank the Minister for his response. He will know that I am from an inner-city community in North Belfast. It is no coincidence that many residents who live on congested roads suffer from respiratory diseases. Will the Minister, along with his colleague in the Infrastructure Department, consider the addition of some plants and foliage to the motorway system to reduce the awful pollutants that the residents face daily?
