“16 Steps and My NI, what fantastic and inspirational publications – it is all about making it happen and you certainly seem to be doing that. We had a wonderful visit to Belfast, great fun and service everywhere. The only problem was that our visit was too short. It is amazing the dramatic improvement in the environment in the environment in such a short period. You can only go from strength to strength.”

“It was a great experience and I'm sure that everyone must have been energised and inspired by the messages but most of all by what has been delivered. I know this is only the start of more to come, but what a fantastic journey to have travelled to this point. It was great to feel and listen to the enthusiasm and confidence generated by the event, which was palpable. Finally, I can imagine how much effort and thought went into the day - the result was well worth it.”
