Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Communities – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 2:00 pm on 23 April 2024.
The Member is absolutely right to highlight the subregional stadia fund, and all of us in the House know how important that is. I have been asked a lot of questions about it, and I can inform the Member that significant work has been carried out in the two months since I came into office. I am pleased to report that I will soon be in a position to make further announcements on that. Of course, in order to stay in the Speaker's good graces, any announcements will be made to the House first. That will impact on performance clubs as well as grassroots football and the national training centre.
I am sure that everyone in the House will allow me to take the opportunity to congratulate Larne Football Club in getting one step closer to the league championship. I am aware that I am sitting beside and in front of Linfield fans, so maybe I should leave it there.
