Frew delighted to see cruise liners docking locally
Mr Frew said: “It’s very important we use the North Coast and indeed the tourist potential we do have in order to get as many tourists here as possible, not only to visit Belfast but also the whole of Northern Ireland and especially North Antrim and view the great sites we have.
“It’s great to know the cruise ships are steadily increasing in the North Coast and it’s important we are able to attract large cruise liners like the Silver Cloud which docked in Ballycastle Harbour on September 3 of this year.

“That must continue and we must do everything in our power to create that and make that happen. “There has been a number of cruise liners at Portrush Harbour now over the last four years and it’s good to see the numbers steadily increasing.”
