Ministers
blow the dust off their briefs
From NEWS LETTER May 31st, 2000
Political stability as a necessary ingredient to building a successful economy
was uppermost in Sir Reg Empey's mind when he returned to the Department
of Enterprise, Trade and Investment. ''We now have a second chance to make
devolution work,'' he said.
''Change is all around us, political change and economic change.'' The SDLP's
Sean Farren, Minister for Higher and Further Education, lost no time in
confirming details of a pounds 5.5 million package of special initiatives
for further education colleges.
Ulster Unionist Sam Foster, at Environment, said he was delighted to be
back in harness. He vowed to give the Waste Management Strategy - published
shortly after the executive was suspended - a high priority. |
