Maze Prison development could boost economic growth – Michelle O’Neill

O’Neill told MLAs that the Ulster Aviation Society’s hangar at the Maze attracted about 7,000 visitors during the European Heritage Open Days in mid-September.

“We can find a way to unleash the potential of the site being sensitive to the listed buildings and making sure that we develop it as best as we possibly can,” she said.

“We’re absolutely committed to working with the corporation to achieve what we think is the huge potential on the site.”

The first minister did not put a time-scale on any development at the Maze.

“It’s quite a large infrastructure and quite a large project,” she said.

“I don’t think it’s something that we turn over overnight, but certainly there’s a political will in which to work together to develop the site.”
