Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins says the Fleadh in Belfast highlights the potential benefits of pedestrianisation and she plans to follow it with a consultation on the proposal.
The coverage agrees that Kimmins is moving from the demonstration event to a wider engagement process with the public and stakeholders. The Belfast Telegraph reports on her intention to run a consultation after the Fleadh, while BreakingNews.ie quotes her saying the event clearly showed the advantages of pedestrianised areas.
Overall, the outlets focus on the minister’s position and timing, but they do not provide detailed information on the specific streets or options that may be considered, nor on the consultation timetable, scope, or expected outcomes.
