Huge University of Ulster investment can deliver for North Belfast - Ní Chuilín

A huge £250 million investment announced by the University of Ulster has the potential to deliver massive benefits to the people of North Belfast, Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín has said.
“I very much welcome this week's announcement that the University of Ulster plans to spend £250 million developing the York Street campus,” she said.
“A thriving university can be the economic driver of any region and in an area of high deprivation such as north Belfast, the potential of this investment is huge. It will transform the Cathedral Quarter and should be a flagship development for the new confident city that is Belfast.
“Sinn Féin will be demanding that the maximum possible benefit for the people who live in North Belfast will be central to this plan.
"We must ensure that employment and training opportunities created by this investment are accessible by the unemployed and economically inactive and this can be done by putting social clauses into the tenders put out for developers.
"The development should also be progressed in consultation and partnership with the community in North Belfast to ensure that their needs are central to the project.
"This investment can also provide a much-needed boost to the construction industry which again is extremely welcome and I look forward to working with the University of Ulster as these plans progress.”
