Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the permanent removal of graffiti on the bridge at Finaghy railway station.

Answer:

My officials have been working in conjunction with Belfast City Council to identify options to discourage the on-going problem of graffiti on this bridge. A study, that is due to be completed in early March, has been commissioned. When the report has been received, officials will consider the best way to tackle the problem.

In the meantime, arrangements have been made to paint over the graffiti on the road side of the bridge. This work was due to start week commencing 24 February 2020, however due to low temperatures and the unsettled weather, this has been put on hold until week commencing 2 March 2020, subject to favourable weather conditions.
