NI City Deals: UK government working ‘closely’ with executive

There are four deals in Northern Ireland: the Belfast City region, Derry City and Strabane, Mid South West region, and Causeway Coast and Glens.

O’Neill called the UK government’s approach “extremely short-sighted” and said it was “crucial” they continued as planned.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said the “dire consequences” of the move had been spelt out during a meeting with the Chancellor on Thursday.

Stormont’s Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald said she has written to the Treasury “calling on them to immediately reverse this reprehensible decision”.

She pointed out that it has come “less than a week before the scheduled signing of the Derry City and Strabane Deal”.
