A Trust board meeting is set to take place on Thursday.

“There are tens of thousands of visitors and tourists who visit Parliament every year and there is considerable competition among those behind their own local produce across the UK to get their product in the world famous shop window in London SW1.

£I understand that since its launch in 2017 it has won numerous awards and is one of many world class products which come from the North Coast and North West of Northern Ireland.

£It is great news that Irish Black Butter is now going to feature at the heart of government, again highlighting the success story that is the wider Agri-food industry of Northern Ireland.”
