'˜A5 and A6 remain key projects' - McCartney
Raymond McCartney said while he sympathised with people in Belfast, the improvement of infrastructure was vitally important to the economy in the North West.
“Firstly I would like to sympathise with anyone caught up in the traffic disruption in Belfast on Tuesday night, it’s not a nice experience at any time getting stuck in traffic,” said Mr. McCartney.

“I would like to state clearly the A5 and A6 road are key projects. These are two landmark infrastructure projects which will transform the economic and physical landscapes of the North West, help create jobs and grow the economy. They will help redress the regional disparity which existed in the North West for decades.”
