:00:25. > :00:30.As the Assembly once again discusses parades, the focus narrows in

:00:31. > :00:45.Returning home on the Twelfth night along the main Crumlin Road to their

:00:46. > :00:49.starting point at Ligoniel. Is it too much to ask?

:00:50. > :00:51.Edwin Poots criticises the Belfast Health Trust over the

:00:52. > :00:55.Management of the flow of patients, in the Royal Victoria Hospital and

:00:56. > :00:58.across the Trust as a whole, could have been handled better. I am very

:00:59. > :01:01.disappointed by the Trust's apparent inability to identify and

:01:02. > :01:05.plan for those anticipated pressures.

:01:06. > :01:08.And I'm joined by Steven McCaffery, editor of the news website

:01:09. > :01:18.It was the last scheduled sitting of the Assembly today and,

:01:19. > :01:21.perhaps fittingly, proceedings were dominated by a continuing point

:01:22. > :01:25.of contention - parades, protests and how to police them.

:01:26. > :01:28.The Ulster Unionist motion called for everyone involved to show

:01:29. > :01:30."respect, restraint and tolerance", but in

:01:31. > :01:35.And once again the ongoing stand-off at Twaddell Avenue was

:01:36. > :01:51.It is unfortunate that during the multiparty talks that we could not

:01:52. > :01:58.find agreement on the issue of parades and related protests. I

:01:59. > :02:02.suppose we came reasonably close to an overarching agreement. But even

:02:03. > :02:07.if we did it was not going to deal with a number of those contentious

:02:08. > :02:15.parades. That is a major difficulty that we will have even if we do find

:02:16. > :02:21.that resolution we are looking for. I do hope that these words will see

:02:22. > :02:24.positive actions to follow. We have seen on a number of occasions

:02:25. > :02:31.statements put forward by the executive and this assembly and that

:02:32. > :02:38.actions following that have not met the high standards of the statement

:02:39. > :02:42.put forward. We have seen members of the opposing party, the Ulster

:02:43. > :02:47.Unionist party, put up tension by telling international mediators to

:02:48. > :02:51.go home. When their party leader was in negotiation with that

:02:52. > :02:58.international mediator around these difficult issues. I was part of a

:02:59. > :03:03.joint delegation to the Parades Commission. When the chair said in

:03:04. > :03:07.relation to Ardoyne, I quote, there is absolute rejection from what we

:03:08. > :03:13.have heard from all nationalist parties to an evening parade. So

:03:14. > :03:19.accommodation, shared space, shared future, tolerance and respect, there

:03:20. > :03:24.is not any. There is absolute rejection from all sides. This is

:03:25. > :03:30.not an issue that only cropped up in the past number of years, it is not

:03:31. > :03:35.something conjured up by Gerry Adams or Jerry Kelly. It has been going on

:03:36. > :03:40.for hundreds of years. It is part of our history. Going back to the

:03:41. > :03:44.1800s, the early 20th century, there have always been issues around

:03:45. > :03:51.parades and they have not been resolved. In the times we are living

:03:52. > :03:58.in, in the debate that we are having, does it not come down to

:03:59. > :04:04.this. Clever people in every party are prepared to say today that

:04:05. > :04:10.whatever happens in the next two weeks, that they themselves as

:04:11. > :04:13.parties and that they will advise people wherever it might be in

:04:14. > :04:22.Northern Ireland to accept the decision of the Parades Commission.

:04:23. > :04:27.Three small lodges and one band returning home on the Twelfth Night

:04:28. > :04:34.along the main Crumlin Road to their starting point at Ligoniel. Is it

:04:35. > :04:39.too much to ask? Is there sufficient respect, restraint and tolerance on

:04:40. > :04:45.that side of the chamber to allow them to do that? They may vote for a

:04:46. > :04:51.motion that speaks about these things, but the reality is there is

:04:52. > :04:56.no respect and there is no tolerance.

:04:57. > :05:02.I think it is late in the day, this is already the 1st of July. The

:05:03. > :05:11.Richard Haass talks are over six months. We have had a period of

:05:12. > :05:15.party leader discussions on and off for the last several weeks. So

:05:16. > :05:21.tomorrow dolls commence a set of negotiations, none of us know where

:05:22. > :05:25.they will go. Certainly from our party 's point of view are committed

:05:26. > :05:29.to making sure they're successful and we do conclude on the business

:05:30. > :05:37.laid out by the Richard Haass and Meghan O'Sullivan final paper.

:05:38. > :05:45.Sinn Fein as the party are those who demand shared government. But not

:05:46. > :05:53.repaired to share the public road. -- prepared. The audacity to say, we

:05:54. > :06:01.demand as of right to share in government, but we will not

:06:02. > :06:05.tolerate, permit, allow, the sharing of public space.

:06:06. > :06:08.Steven McCaffery joins me in the studio.

:06:09. > :06:11.Steven, it did seem an odd time to be debating the parading issue,

:06:12. > :06:22.It was one day that created the impression that Stormont is

:06:23. > :06:26.sometimes in a bubble. But more positively at least the motion was

:06:27. > :06:32.aimed at sending out a positive message. And the debate itself was

:06:33. > :06:35.calm except that the DUP representatives from North Belfast

:06:36. > :06:42.came maybe more agitated than the others. But there and sit in the art

:06:43. > :06:48.in the eye of the storm. Dashed their constituencies. We have had a

:06:49. > :06:54.debate about parades involving politicians that did not deal in any

:06:55. > :06:58.detail with the data that exists showing there are more parades than

:06:59. > :07:03.ever before. We have reported on this for three years. Over 95% go

:07:04. > :07:09.ahead with no restriction whatsoever. And further research

:07:10. > :07:14.from Queens extended that vision even further to show that wider

:07:15. > :07:18.loyalist culture is enjoying something of a golden age. That does

:07:19. > :07:24.not seem to impact on the temperature of the politics around

:07:25. > :07:26.this issue. Not necessarily help people from that community would

:07:27. > :07:33.interpret things. That is the disconnect. Parades being discussed

:07:34. > :07:38.by the five parties tomorrow in this pick-up from the Richard Haass

:07:39. > :07:45.talks. You any optimism of a kind of resolution? Given that since the

:07:46. > :07:50.talks themselves collapsed at the start of the year, we have had

:07:51. > :07:55.nothing but critical recrimination and infighting on all kinds of

:07:56. > :08:00.issues. The climate could not be worse. I do not know anyone who has

:08:01. > :08:05.expectations. And parades is the example of where the reality does

:08:06. > :08:12.not match the perception. And the realities of these issues does not

:08:13. > :08:15.impact on the political dynamic. The first and deputy first ministers

:08:16. > :08:20.will not even be at the first day of the talks. Important meetings are

:08:21. > :08:24.taking place in London on that day but it will give the impression that

:08:25. > :08:29.the talks will begin with a whimper instead of a bang. The Sinn Fein

:08:30. > :08:34.delegation meeting the Prime Minister in Downing Street tomorrow.

:08:35. > :08:40.The first time they have met David Cameron in that way since he took

:08:41. > :08:46.office. Yes, it is incredible and the funny element is that that

:08:47. > :08:49.conversation is likely to be dominated by the fact that the Prime

:08:50. > :08:56.Minister has a close relationship with the DUP. It will be one of the

:08:57. > :09:01.more interesting ones perhaps, what made come out of the talks that day.

:09:02. > :09:07.And there is another meeting to discuss the Northern Ireland

:09:08. > :09:11.economic pact. Well you might save this is important mood music to help

:09:12. > :09:16.the talks. If you were more suspicious you might say it is

:09:17. > :09:22.choreography to give the impression of action when there is not any.

:09:23. > :09:25.It was a busy day for the Health Minister.

:09:26. > :09:27.In his first appearance before the house, Edwin Poots criticised

:09:28. > :09:30.the Belfast Health Trust for its management of patients, particularly

:09:31. > :09:32.prior to the declaration of a major incident in January.

:09:33. > :09:35.His comments followed the publication of a review by the

:09:36. > :09:36.Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority into unscheduled care

:09:37. > :09:50.The RQIA has identified planning and systems failures by the Belfast

:09:51. > :09:53.trust in the period leading up to be inserted in January. Management of

:09:54. > :09:56.the flow of patients in the Royal Victoria Hospital and across the

:09:57. > :10:01.trust could have been handled better. I'm disappointed at the

:10:02. > :10:06.apparent inability of the trust to identify and plan for these

:10:07. > :10:09.anticipated pressures. I am contacting the chairs and acting

:10:10. > :10:13.chief executives of the Belfast trust and health and social chair

:10:14. > :10:16.board to ask them to account for these systems failures. I required

:10:17. > :10:21.their assurance that they have learnt lessons from the findings of

:10:22. > :10:30.RQIA and are taking steps to prevent this happening in the future. RQIA

:10:31. > :10:33.has made a number of recommendations for concerted actions across the

:10:34. > :10:39.region to improve the delivery of unscheduled care. I believe the

:10:40. > :10:42.floor to secure improvements in the delivery of unscheduled care, then a

:10:43. > :10:47.reasonable approach is essential. -- regional. I am announcing my

:10:48. > :10:53.decision to establish a regional task group to take forward the

:10:54. > :10:57.recommendations under the leadership of my department?s Chief medical

:10:58. > :11:03.Officer Doctor Michael McBride and the chief nursing officer who will

:11:04. > :11:08.co-chair the task group. I want to see results and have set the clear

:11:09. > :11:13.aim for the task group of eliminating all avoidable 12 are

:11:14. > :11:17.waiting time breaches from this winter onwards. And over the next 18

:11:18. > :11:23.months make significant process towards achieving the four hours

:11:24. > :11:28.waiting time standard. The findings are back in the five years covered,

:11:29. > :11:34.83 serious adverse incidents were recorded. Of those 48 involved death

:11:35. > :11:39.of a patient. 13 of those identified some element of delay in aspect of

:11:40. > :11:46.their care. Delays arose from a range of reasons. Including issues

:11:47. > :11:51.around the triage process, a misdiagnosis, the accurate and

:11:52. > :11:55.timely communication of information and the speed with which medications

:11:56. > :11:58.or treatments were delivered. It is impossible to definitively say to

:11:59. > :12:08.what extent any delay has contributed to any death. It is

:12:09. > :12:11.clear that RQIA have identified that there were planning and systems

:12:12. > :12:16.failures by the Belfast trust. But what is quite stark in the

:12:17. > :12:21.Minister?s statement is his comment that I am very disappointed by the

:12:22. > :12:26.trust?s apparent inability to identify and plan for these

:12:27. > :12:31.anticipated pressures. Can the Minister therefore give this

:12:32. > :12:38.house and insight as to first of all what were the systems failings and

:12:39. > :12:46.indeed what recommendations will be progressed and also, if he would go

:12:47. > :12:50.as far as to comment on the response from the ombudsman this morning

:12:51. > :12:56.around high levels of dissatisfaction with the complaints

:12:57. > :12:59.processes within the health trusts. I think it is important that we

:13:00. > :13:04.ensured that when we are dealing with complaints coming in from the

:13:05. > :13:12.public, but they are dealt with in a very clear and consistent way. Some

:13:13. > :13:16.trusts perform better in terms of managing complaints than others and

:13:17. > :13:20.I have experienced that myself. Therefore I would like a greater

:13:21. > :13:21.level of consistency applied throughout the trusts in terms of

:13:22. > :13:30.their response to complaints. There was no let up for the

:13:31. > :13:32.Health Minister. During Question Time,

:13:33. > :13:35.he was asked about the impact that failing to reach an agreement

:13:36. > :13:37.on cuts to the welfare system was Mr Poots began

:13:38. > :13:41.by outlining the savings he planned to make in order to accommodate

:13:42. > :13:53.his department's share of the Some ?160 -- million pounds of

:13:54. > :13:58.additional resources are estimated to be required to balance the

:13:59. > :14:03.books. The deficit remains in spite of my commitment to deliver some

:14:04. > :14:10.?170 million of savings. I have requested further resources in the

:14:11. > :14:13.June monitoring round and is not forthcoming the executive will

:14:14. > :14:18.effectively agreed to a number of serious implications such as pay

:14:19. > :14:21.constraints on hard-working staff, reducing the standard of services

:14:22. > :14:27.offered and the addition of dashed the introduction of additional

:14:28. > :14:33.charges. Longer waiting times for scheduled care. I have not and will

:14:34. > :14:37.not take actions by myself that will have an impact on front line care

:14:38. > :14:42.for patients and clients. And I will not plan for cuts in vital health

:14:43. > :14:46.and social care services to pay for the current refusal of some members

:14:47. > :14:50.of this house to take the necessary decisions in relation to welfare

:14:51. > :14:57.reform. To do nothing is not an option. The failure to agree welfare

:14:58. > :15:03.reform is unforgivable and as financial penalties are imposed by

:15:04. > :15:07.the Treasury there are surely better directed at meeting the real and

:15:08. > :15:21.pressing health and social care needs of some of the most vulnerable

:15:22. > :15:27.people in our society. Hit in the present financial year. If the

:15:28. > :15:35.welfare reform issue is not settled soon, what are the indications for

:15:36. > :15:37.future budgets of this department if we have to pay penalties to

:15:38. > :15:45.Westminster because of our inability to deal with this issue? Every

:15:46. > :15:46.departure and will feel the pinch. Dyas the

:15:47. > :15:51.departure and will feel the pinch. Dyas the minister if we would be

:15:52. > :15:55.better served not following his campaigns Aleem Maqbool ideological

:15:56. > :16:02.campaigns on welfare reform... The rough finds which have not even been

:16:03. > :16:07.implemented by the executive yet. Irony despair at the lack of

:16:08. > :16:14.knowledge demonstrated by the member who has just spoken. Order, order.

:16:15. > :16:20.The fact that members will close their eyes. You take your decision,

:16:21. > :16:23.stand by it. Come to this house and say, we believe that we are better

:16:24. > :16:28.spending this money on welfare than on health. Stand up and say it. Do

:16:29. > :16:33.not be a coward. People need to be very clear that money is being taken

:16:34. > :16:38.from the Northern Ireland budget. The consequence of that money being

:16:39. > :16:43.taken is impacting health and education and justice. And the

:16:44. > :16:47.members opposite are the people who are doing it. Would this argument is

:16:48. > :16:52.not have greater weight and credibility in the wider public mind

:16:53. > :16:59.if he was able to demonstrate some measure of ability in transforming

:17:00. > :17:01.his care plan against the 1999 targets so that people would

:17:02. > :17:03.understand not just that he needs the money but where the money is

:17:04. > :17:10.going? The SDLP's Fearghal McKinney.

:17:11. > :17:12.Steven McCaffery from the Detail is still with me.

:17:13. > :17:21.Steven, thank you. Welfare reform seems to be the goal

:17:22. > :17:26.to defence for any DUP Minister? It seems like the argument really

:17:27. > :17:31.involved the DUP and Sinn Fein but I'd think that today's debate, it

:17:32. > :17:36.was obvious that the STL P was launching in on this idea that the

:17:37. > :17:42.DUP are using it as a blanket defence in health at least. I

:17:43. > :17:46.thought eye detected a little bit of annoyance on the part of the

:17:47. > :17:49.minister when that was put to him. Do you have any sense that this is

:17:50. > :17:55.an issue which is nearing some kind of resolution or is it as

:17:56. > :17:59.intractable now as it was six months or a year ago. The same reasons that

:18:00. > :18:04.lead to it being blocked are still in place so it is hard to imagine

:18:05. > :18:08.that it will be blocked. Given that Sinn Fein are talking about some

:18:09. > :18:12.kind of movement if and when the government is replaced next year in

:18:13. > :18:18.London, that would suggest that we are in for a long haul and not a

:18:19. > :18:22.short solution. There has to be some sort of resolution. It cannot drift

:18:23. > :18:28.for ever with the current state of play. There has to be ultimately

:18:29. > :18:32.some kind of compromise. We have been in this position on other

:18:33. > :18:36.issues at Stormont, issues that have gone on for quite some time and have

:18:37. > :18:42.involved important issues. Irony think that the parties reluctance to

:18:43. > :18:51.accept the reform are digging in their heels. It will be interesting

:18:52. > :18:54.to follow. The damning report into A here in Belfast that we reported

:18:55. > :18:57.on a few minutes ago, the Health Minister is clearly not happy with

:18:58. > :19:02.the performance of the Belfast trust. Yes. His defence was to go on

:19:03. > :19:05.the attack. That was something that did not wash with the Ulster

:19:06. > :19:12.Unionists. They accused him of spinning the figures away from the

:19:13. > :19:14.wider problems. But that is a row that is also not going away any time

:19:15. > :19:18.soon. Thank you indeed. Steven, thank you.

:19:19. > :19:21.Yet another health related story, and MLAs today called for the

:19:22. > :19:23.setting up of a biomedical research centre in Northern Ireland.

:19:24. > :19:25.Members also asked the Health Minister

:19:26. > :19:27.for more cancer research and greater access to experimental drugs for

:19:28. > :19:28.those suffering with the disease. The SDLP's Fearghal McKinney

:19:29. > :19:42.brought the motion to the house. We can approach this issue from a

:19:43. > :19:49.number of different angles but we will not achieve the full ambition

:19:50. > :19:52.and -- unless we see this as a journey which will affect them all

:19:53. > :19:56.equally. Cancer patients benefiting from diagnostic treatments, drugs

:19:57. > :19:59.developed here and trials here through well-paid jobs which are

:20:00. > :20:08.based here, bringing income which they see. A global centre of

:20:09. > :20:11.excellence. We need to do more to see the development of a world-class

:20:12. > :20:16.centre of excellence in cancer research and the development of

:20:17. > :20:20.drugs here in Northern Ireland. In relation to cancer drugs, there is a

:20:21. > :20:24.real need for access to the 38 drugs are available in the rest of the UK.

:20:25. > :20:28.There is a strong lobby out there for such treatments and I know the

:20:29. > :20:32.Minister has a lot of sympathy for the provision of such drugs. Whilst

:20:33. > :20:39.there are significant of elements that I have alluded to, in terms of

:20:40. > :20:44.research and treatment, as the proposers of the motion, we rightly

:20:45. > :20:50.state that we have equality issues when it comes to access to the type

:20:51. > :20:57.of drugs that are required. And it is very clear to us all that access

:20:58. > :21:02.to drugs and treatment should not be by dint of postcode. How do we

:21:03. > :21:11.develop a dedicated cancer drug fund for liberally funding those of very

:21:12. > :21:15.high cost drugs, sometimes experimental drugs that are very

:21:16. > :21:18.expensive. I think that is something I've wanted to see people across

:21:19. > :21:23.Northern Ireland having access to. And I think that is vital that they

:21:24. > :21:28.have access to them. I want to see that. We are lagging behind the rest

:21:29. > :21:32.of the country in that and that is something that this assembly should

:21:33. > :21:39.be aiming to put right. One of the members said he wanted equality with

:21:40. > :21:41.England. England charge ?8 a head for prescriptions. I am not

:21:42. > :21:51.proposing we do that. I want to do something less. The member said, and

:21:52. > :22:00.that will take an intervention. But does he want an ?8 prescription

:22:01. > :22:03.charge? I want to do something considerably less. Ten years ago, I

:22:04. > :22:08.was diagnosed with cancer and given the treatment. I was given the right

:22:09. > :22:11.drugs. Are you really saying no to people like me today?

:22:12. > :22:14.The Justice Minister, David Ford, also faced questions today

:22:15. > :22:17.and he was asked to introduce legislation aimed at compelling

:22:18. > :22:19.former RUC officers to give evidence in Troubles-related cases.

:22:20. > :22:22.The SDLP MLA Dominic Bradley raised the matter, referring to the recent

:22:23. > :22:24.Police Ombudsman's investigation into the murder of RUC Constable

:22:25. > :22:40.Can ask the minister a question regarding the police ombudsman's

:22:41. > :22:48.report into the matter of Sergeant Joe Campbell of the RUC? Is the

:22:49. > :22:50.minister concerned that attempts to frustrate the ombudsman's

:22:51. > :22:59.investigation through the symptomatic destruction of evidence?

:23:00. > :23:03.I need to be very careful, especially as Sergeant Campbell was

:23:04. > :23:06.murdered long before I came to office and under very different

:23:07. > :23:13.circumstances. That is exactly the first thing high would wish to

:23:14. > :23:18.save. I will record my sympathy for Sergeant Campbell's family because

:23:19. > :23:24.of this publicity. It would be a matter of concern that if evidence

:23:25. > :23:29.was destroyed as part of any investigation. There are other

:23:30. > :23:33.factors about witnesses. I wonder if there is division in this house

:23:34. > :23:38.about these issues. On that point, with the Minister agree that there

:23:39. > :23:44.is a need for legislation to ensure that retired members of the RUC

:23:45. > :23:54.cooperate with the ombudsman's investigations? Well, I have a paper

:23:55. > :23:57.before the executive looking at the issue of a number of matters

:23:58. > :24:02.relating to the ombudsman's work, including the compatibility of

:24:03. > :24:05.retired police officers. It is clear that there is no political consensus

:24:06. > :24:09.and it is unlikely that legislation would pass the house, but I can see

:24:10. > :24:14.why members of families like the Campbell family would mesh the lack

:24:15. > :24:18.-- would wish to see compelling ability. We have the knowledge that

:24:19. > :24:21.if we go back that far there might be no valid evidence forthcoming in

:24:22. > :24:26.such circumstances but it is understandable why people would wish

:24:27. > :24:29.to explore that. Can ask the minister if he agrees that the only

:24:30. > :24:35.way to avoid the criminal justice issues that have come out of these

:24:36. > :24:38.controversial parades are the only way to deal with that is for people

:24:39. > :24:44.to get around the table in the same way that happened in Derry, and top

:24:45. > :24:54.out the issue, to ensure that we can have respect and tolerance across? I

:24:55. > :24:58.am happy to agree, between an MLA from foil in the speakers chair and

:24:59. > :25:03.one asking the question, there are definitely was the examples of

:25:04. > :25:08.instances where people from Derry and Londonderry have got together to

:25:09. > :25:10.deal with the issues. To get that kind of mood into certain areas of

:25:11. > :25:15.Belfast is lacking at I hope that the leadership in this house would

:25:16. > :25:19.provide some of that joining up. How do you respond to criticism,

:25:20. > :25:23.Minister, levelled against your department by sinister is for

:25:24. > :25:28.solicitors for the most senior coroner that the access to legacy

:25:29. > :25:36.issues is an enormous embarrassment to the state? As I said to other

:25:37. > :25:38.members of this house, it is absolutely clear that there are

:25:39. > :25:44.fundamental issues of resources. Issues like obtaining all the

:25:45. > :25:51.necessary information for inquests are enormously complex and demanding

:25:52. > :25:55.of time. Skilled personnel, of whom there are a limited number, are also

:25:56. > :26:00.in demand. There have been difficulties encountered in doing

:26:01. > :26:04.that. That has never been denied. What is at issue is to ensure that

:26:05. > :26:08.we provide the system in as joined up a way as possible. That would

:26:09. > :26:11.best be done if we can agree on some of these outstanding issues and find

:26:12. > :26:15.ways that we could collectively deal with them without using the existing

:26:16. > :26:18.inquest system to deal with legacy matters which are more complex.

:26:19. > :26:21.The Enterprise Minister announced that an updated tourism strategy is

:26:22. > :26:23.to be developed following a review of the Northern Ireland Tourist

:26:24. > :26:25.Board which is to have its name changed.

:26:26. > :26:27.Arlene Foster explained that the executive summary of the report

:26:28. > :26:30.highlights ten key recommendations including a review of the skills

:26:31. > :26:32.needs of the tourism sector, and greater collaboration between the

:26:33. > :26:40.The chairman of the Enterprise Committee questioned the updated

:26:41. > :26:51.Note that in the tourism strategy, the consultation document referred

:26:52. > :26:58.to the executive, which should publish an up updated strategy for

:26:59. > :27:03.tourism. Given that this came before the assembly in 2010 and then

:27:04. > :27:09.disappeared into the black hole of the executive, does the Minister

:27:10. > :27:16.rate any higher the chances for success of a fresh strategy for

:27:17. > :27:23.tourism? I thank the member for those points. In relation to the

:27:24. > :27:26.tourism strategy, he is right to say that the last strategy, which was

:27:27. > :27:32.actually brought about after an industry lead panel brought forward

:27:33. > :27:36.recommendations, we brought that aura to the executive.

:27:37. > :27:44.Unfortunately, that was just before the assembly elections and it never

:27:45. > :27:47.came back out again. Therefore, the reviewer has indicated that we need

:27:48. > :27:53.an updated tourism strategy. I have to say that the fact that we have

:27:54. > :27:56.not had an officially endorsed tourism strategy has not prevented

:27:57. > :28:02.the tourism industry from growing and I'd pay tribute to the way the

:28:03. > :28:08.tourism industry has continued to grow during that important year of

:28:09. > :28:11.2012. It will be an updated tragedy taking into account the fact that

:28:12. > :28:16.business tourism has grown, particularly in and around Belfast.

:28:17. > :28:22.Mr Hunter points to the success of visit Belfast in that regard. It

:28:23. > :28:29.will also take into account the whole experience, and the five

:28:30. > :28:35.pillars he talks about. Those need to be reflected in the updated

:28:36. > :28:38.strategy. Finally, the review of public administration will have to

:28:39. > :28:39.be factored into any tourism strategy because rules and

:28:40. > :28:42.responsibilities have changed in that regard.

:28:43. > :28:43.The Enterprise Minister, Arlene Foster.

:28:44. > :28:48.Do join me for The View on Thursday at 10.35 on BBC1.
