Alliance Leader David Ford MLA has welcomed the announcements from the Executive meeting for the green light for the Titanic signature project and E-Way transport project.

David Ford MLA said: "I welcome these announcements as they are both significant for Northern Ireland. However a number of issues needs to be addressed as regards to the E-Way.

"The real challenge for the Executive now is that these projects are delivered on schedule and in a sustainable way.

"I look forward to seeing the Executive's detailed plans following these announcements."
