She was given assurances that £5 million will be made available to assist the local community with new employment start-ups.

"I have also been given assurances that £5 million will be made available to assist the local community with new employment start-ups. The Michelin Development Community Fund, I hope, will go some way in introducing new employment opportunities in North Antrim and breathe new life into the area that has been hit so hard over the years with various factory closures."
