Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development whether he will visit Carrickfergus Borough Council to outline his Department's stance on the A2 upgrade.

Answer:

The Member will be aware that a number of MLAs, who are also members of Carrickfergus Borough Council, were in attendance during the Adjournment debate held on 31 May 2011 in the Assembly Chamber on the Upgrade of the A2 in East Antrim.

Having made my statement during Adjournment Debate to outline my Department’s position on the scheme, I do not feel there would be any benefit in reiterating this in the Council Chamber.

A Hansard record of the Adjournment Debate is available to view on the Northern Ireland Assembly website.

I have asked my Department’s Roads Service officials to make themselves available should you, or any member of Carrickfergus Council, wish to discuss any aspect or detail of the proposed scheme for the Upgrade of the A2 Shore Road, Greenisland.
