Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail when the rock face cladding at the sea defences wall on the Belfast Road dual carriageway, Carrickfergus, will be replaced.

Answer:

My officials have confirmed that the cladding to the sea wall along the Belfast Road, Carrickfergus is not a structural issue and at present, due to other high priority work, my Department has no plans to replace it. While there are many areas that would benefit from investment, due to limited budget resources, maintenance work is taken forward through the prioritisation of that deemed most in need for intervention.
