'East Antrim will benefit from Irish government investment'

SINN Fein's Oliver McMullan believes the Irish government has a key role to play in the economic recovery here.

And the East Antrim general election candidate has stressed that his party is committed to developing an all-Ireland economy.

“We have an opportunity to forge our own economic future here on the island of Ireland if we take an island wide approach to planning and investment. We could cut out the enormous waste created by having two of everything on this small island of just over five million people. Two health systems, two agriculture systems, two transport, road, infrastructure and tourist systems etc. What a waste of energy and resources,” he commented.
