Mr. Martin Fraser:

We will look into that aspect. There is nothing about the jobs data that is in any way encouraging. There are some improvements, but it is a major problem.

The Deputy asked about the stimulus package under the St. Andrews Agreement. We talk to the British Government all the time about these matters. Unfortunately, owing to our crisis, the contribution from the South has had to be scaled back, particularly for the road to the north west. I hope the project will go ahead and that we still have some money on the table. The latest development is that the British Government has been talking to the Northern Ireland Executive in Belfast which has primary responsibility for dealing with British Government. The British Government has been talking to the Northern Ireland Executive about various incentives and economic packages it can use to help the Northern Ireland economy. We encourage this and any help at British or European level. The Government secured the next PEACE programme for Northern Ireland because we fought very hard in Brussels last year. We talk to the British Government all the time and have a huge interest in ensuring Northern Ireland is prosperous and that the Northern Ireland Executive gets whatever help it can get. It has its own responsibilities and must carry them out. It is an ongoing conversation. The British Government must make its own decisions on its economic circumstances.
