Derry's Chamber of Commerce says Stormont's return is 'a huge relief to our business community'

Londonderry Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the news that powersharing is set to return after the DUP accepted a deal to return devolution at Stormont.

CEO Anna Doherty said the move is a positive one.

“It will be a huge relief to our business community that the DUP have agreed to accept the deal to return power-sharing to Stormont," she said.

“After almost two years without an Executive or Assembly, it’s time to get things moving again. Our businesses need it, and our economy needs it. The return of local decision making can only be positive, and we look forward to working with a new Executive when it is formed, particularly a new Economy Minister.

“We hope the necessary legislation will be put in place as swiftly as possible so that a new Executive can be established without delay.”
