Foster does u-turn on Giant's Causeway project
The North's Environment Minister, Arlene Foster, has done a u-turn on her support for a controversial private-sector visitors' centre at the Giant's Causeway.
Ms Foster had said she was "minded" to grant permission for the project when it was proposed by property developer Seymour Crawford, a member of the DUP.
Her comments attracted sustained criticism and she has now decided to rescind her approval for the plans.
The whole project has been mired in allegations of sleaze after it emerged that Mr Crawford has close links to DUP leader Ian Paisley and his son, Ian Paisley Jnr.
