I worked well with my then ministerial counterpart in the North, Mr. Gordon Lyons. Of course I was disappointed when our bid fell through but there was flexibility around the year when we had reached agreement on examining a bid. Mr. Conor Murphy will now be the Minister in charge in the North and I hope that we can explore it. The Minister of State wishes to comment.
