Signature visit

EAST Antrim MLA Alastair Ross is anticipating a signficant boost for the tourism sector from Titanic-related celebrations.

Mr Ross, who is the Assembly Private Secretary for DETI Minister Arlene Foster, joined the UK Tourism and Heritage Minister John Penrose at the Titanic Signature Building to view progress.

The DUP representative said: “The Titanic Signature Building is already an iconic building in the Belfast skyline, and with the various interactive exhibitions, galleries and banqueting suite it will be a massive tourist attraction for Northern Ireland.

“I am looking forward to the opening of the building at the end of March, and indeed the series of events that are already planned to celebrate the opening of the Titanic Building as well as the commemorations to mark the tragedy of those who lost their lives.”
