Answer
All preparatory work has been completed on the Redevelopment of Magilligan Project pending a decision by the Executive on its capital budget.
The outline business case was approved by the Department of Finance and Personnel in January 2015. A Design Team is already in place and ready to commence work, subject to capital availability.
My officials will continue to make a strong case to secure funding for the redevelopment of Magilligan, and other NIPS Capital Estates Programme Projects, in advance of the Executive’s decision on its capital budget.
