Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development for an update on proposals for the regeneration of Portrush, including a study to examine options around the redevelopment of Portrush Harbour.

Answer:

In April 2015 I forwarded a paper to the Executive outlining options on the way forward with the regeneration of Portrush in the run up to the Open Championship returning to Royal Portrush Golf Club.

In relation to the Harbour development, an additional piece of work is now required to identify a further option to be tested at economic appraisal stage. This work will be undertaken over the coming months, subject to funding being available.
