Proceeding contribution from Naomi Long (Alliance) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Northern Ireland Economy.


Northern Ireland Economy

The right hon. Gentleman has been generous about taking interventions. Does he agree that, as is so often the case, there is still negativity, even about such important and positive projects, and that part of what we need to do is not just to market these things internationally to potential visitors, but to engage in some selling of confidence to local people that we can attract the tourist numbers required to sustain them? We need to build self-belief again in the people of Northern Ireland. We need to build the belief in them that it is a good place—a place worth visiting—so that they become ambassadors for the product that we have.
