North Down Community Groups meet MLA at Stormont
Conlig And Breezemount Community groups were the guests of North Down Ulster Unionist MLA Leslie Cree recently at Parliament Buildings, Stormont. Mr Cree’s guests enjoyed a tour of the Building followed by a light supper in the Members Private Dining Room.
Commenting on the visit Mr Cree said, “ It is important that the people of Northern Ireland visit this fine building and learn something of its colourful history. I am especially pleased that community groups from my Constituency have taken the time and interest to come here and gain an insight into the background of Central Government and how it works.”
Speaking on behalf of both Breezemount Association and Breezemount Women’s Group chairpersons Mrs Anne McCrea, and Mrs Jean Leathem, said that this was a wonderful opportunity for their groups and agreed, “ It is such a shame that our local politicians are not yet in a position to govern here as such a difference could be made for community groups such as ourselves if decisions were made by those that we elect and not by Direct Rule Ministers.”
