Allister responds to Causeway U-turn
29 January 2008
Statement by Traditional Unionist MEP, Jim Allister:-
"The abandonment by Minister Foster of her foolish support for the Sweeney project at the Causeway is welcome. Her volte face demonstrates that public opposition and distaste for what was going on has won through. The timing in the run up to the Dromore by-election suggests that politics is still at play, as the DUP seeks to undo some of the damage caused by the antics of Ian junior.
What the Minister has not adequately explained is how she got herself into this mess, given what she ought to have known the integration requirements of planning policy and about the parameters and requirements set by UNESCO."
