Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a fhreagra.
I, too, know that a lot of great work is being done around Cave Hill. Will the Minister provide assurances that the Belfast hills will be enhanced by that funding and safeguarded against further environmental damage? Will he outline some long-term protections that could be put in place and the engagement that has happened with farmers and landowners?
