Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development for an update on proposals for the development of Portrush Harbour.

Answer:

As advised in June this year (AQW 47882 11-15 refers) my Department identified that an additional piece of work was required to determine if a further development option for the regeneration of Portrush harbour could be identified. This work has now commenced and is due to be completed in the next couple of months.

When this further development option is identified it will allow a full economic appraisal of the options for the development of the harbour to be carried out along with a Masterplan to plan for the development of the land side of the harbour.
