Alliance Leader David Ford has stated that the opportunities provided by the new Gateway Business Park at the International Airport must be fully capitalized upon. He stated that this project will not only provide large number of jobs, but will also provide a chance to upgrade the public transport links locally.

The South Antrim Assembly Member said: "This great news because this new business park has the potential to provide a major boost to Antrim economy and the wider area.

"It is important that with the creation of the Gateway business park, we take this opportunity to bring additional benefits to the area and its residents.

"For example, this major development should enable the creation of better public transport links to meet the real needs of local people. We must make use of the existing railway infrastructure in the area and expanding upon it."
