[39883/16]
View answerI had a bilateral meeting with Minister Chris Hazzard yesterday in advance of the Transport Sectoral meeting of the North South Ministerial Council. We discussed a range of issues relating to current and future infrastructural projects on both sides of border, including the multi-modal transport hub in Derry and the A5 road.
In addition to the meetings yesterday, I also met Minister Hazzard in July and November, 2016 at the North South Ministerial Council. Separately my officials continue to be in regular contact with Minister Hazzard's Department on transport matters.
