Sinn Féin South Down MLA Cathy Mason has said the development of the Narrow Water Bridge will be a game changer for tourism in South Down and the wider Newry and Mourne community.
The South Down MLA was speaking after the project was discussed in the Assembly. She said: “I welcome the First Minister’s statement and the continued emphasis on real and practical north/south delivery including how the Shared Island investment can help to unlock tourism and economic potential in South Down.
“The Narrow Water Bridge will deliver real and tangible benefits.
“It will be a new landmark and a game changer for tourism in South Down and the wider Newry and Mourne community.
“It will further transform and enhance connectivity, which will support the local tourism and hospitality sectors in particular.
“Significant progress has been made on the project and I want to commend the work of the Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins and her counterpart in the South, who have worked with Louth County Council and the local council to ensure that the project comes to fruition.
“Sinn Féin will continue to ensure the Narrow Water bridge is delivered to improve the lives of workers, families and local businesses across South Down.”
