Question:
To ask the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment what impact the current instability is having on his Department's ability to attract foreign investment.

Answer:

Invest NI has experienced considerable success in promoting Northern Ireland as a location that can meet the needs of international investors. The business proposition, based on a skilled workforce, competitive operating costs and advanced infrastructure in a strategic location, has not changed. There is no evidence to suggest that any potential investors have changed their plans as a result of the current political situation.
