RE: Northern Ireland MP19 Oct 2020 13:20
Just to prove me wrong I have just received this reply. Obviously Northern Ireland MPs are more engaging than thier English counterparts.
'Whilst the Island Magee project is not in my constituency but rather East Antrim, Infrastrata certainly do have a foot print in mine and the two are at one level, intertwined.
I presume however that the Marine License does not fall to the Northern Ireland Office but rather the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs with input from the Department of Economy in Northern Ireland. With that in mind, NIO Ministers have no involvement in the process and any debate would be superficial at best.
More particularly, I would be keen to understand where the process is at present, what the most recent correspondence received is and I will happily follow up with the relevant Departments locally.
Kind regards
