I absolutely agree. It is extremely disappointing that some Members chose to tell a blatant lie about what is happening with the Enniskillen bypass. Let me be categorically clear right now: there is no detriment or risk to the Enniskillen bypass. I am determined to see that delivered, but, as Minister, I have to be responsible and do all in my power to ensure that there are no delays and no negative implications for it. I have had to consider that across all of the major schemes. I have reiterated to the House — it is certainly my focus — that we must get to the other side of the appeal and then get on with the work that we set out to do.
