I very much welcome the statement and the increase in funding for the arts and libraries. The Minister has obviously listened to the consultation.

I welcome the extra £107 million for the Department for Regional Development. I make this plea: I look forward to a vast improvement in the roads in the Strangford constituency, particularly those on the Ards Peninsula. I see the Minister nodding his head. We are going to get it; that is excellent. [Interruption.]
