Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development to outline the work being undertaken by his Department and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive to seek removal of tributes to illegal paramilitary organisations situated within the publicly funded memorial area created within Kilcooley Estate, Bangor in 2009.

Answer:

Officials from DSD and the Housing Executive had been involved in discussions with the local community on this issue but were unable to bring a conclusion to the matter. The Housing Executive’s Cohesion Unit is about to embark on the new ‘Building Relationships in the Community 2’ programme and they will look at restarting discussions regarding this matter as part of this programme.
