Justice Minister David Ford

Justice Minister David Ford has joined with representatives from the Police, Fire and Prison Services at Newforge Country Club for the official announcement of Government funding for World Police and Fire Games (WPFG) in 2013

Welcoming the Executive's decision to provide up to £6 million towards the hosting of the games, the Minister said: "Northern Ireland was successful in bidding for this event because of the vision, hard work and determination of our emergency services. I am delighted that the Executive has seized the opportunity to provide funding to host the Games which will bring to an international audience a very positive demonstration of how Northern Ireland has moved forward."
