Infrastructure – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 2:45 pm on 14 November 2016.
T9. Mr Lyttle asked the Minister for Infrastructure to clarify the funding position for the York Street interchange project. (AQT 464/16-21)
Again, without stepping over the embargo on the ministerial statement tomorrow, I reiterate what I have said all along about the York Street interchange. It is strategically a very important project. It is a project I want to be able to deliver. I took the decision to lengthen the procurement period so that I can take all available advice.
We have seen that the landscape, even with Brexit, has changed, with High Court rulings since that decision was taken. I am hoping the Member will pay close attention to the ministerial statement tomorrow.
Thank you. Time is up.
