Stormont Minister: Issues remain on causeway centre plans

The only private sector proposal on the table for a controversial visitors centre at the Giant’s Causeway still has a number of issues which need to be addressed, Stormont Environment Minister Arlene Foster said today.

Following concerns that the Stormont Executive may bin plans for a publicly funded visitors centre in favour of a private development proposed by north Antrim businessman Seymour Sweeney, Mrs Foster (DUP, Fermanagh and South Tyrone) explained why she had publicly declared her inclination to accept the bid.
