I propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 95 together.
Earlier this year, my Department undertook a strategic review of the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA) in order to inform policy as to its future, and as to whether the DHDA continues to be required to meet a socio-economic need. The review also examined the role that the land holdings of the DHDA might play in its future. The review has been completed and I will now consider it and bring proposals to Government.
