House rejects Democratic efforts to force release of Matt Gaetz ethics report

NoneDuring the Oct. 7 Somerset fire, Dick Hasenauer was driving his tractor out in his field when a gust of wind came up, bringing the flames upon him. "I had a tractor with no air conditioning, had the windows open and I had fire inside the cab trying to get out of there," he said. Hasenauer, was one of six landowners attended the Lincoln County commissioners meeting Monday to discuss the benefits of building an emergency service road connecting U.S. Highway 83 to Hershey-Dickens Road in the southern part of the county. "This fire opened a lot of people's eyes that we need a faster road," Hasenauer said. The potential road would be an extension of the existing Lonestar Road by about seven miles. Marvin Knoll, owner of Knoll Ranch Co. off of Lonestar Road, said that while an emergency service road out there has been “talked about for a number of years,” the Oct. 7 “Somerset Fire” that burned roughly 2,300 acres “brought it back to life again.” Additionally, the proposed road would follow the section lines of the area — which Commissioner Chris Bruns said are “technically considered roads” — and bisect two rows of the Nebraska Cooperative Republican Platte Enhancement project’s sections of land. “It would all stay on public property,” Knoll said. “... you’re not going through anybody’s property or splitting anybody’s place or anything up.” Kirk Olson, owner of Olson Farms Inc. where the proposed road would meet with Hershey-Dickens Road, said he hopes the commissioners “consider this as a very important project.” Commissioner Jerry Woodruff asked how the landowners proposed the county funded this project. “We all know where it’s going to come from: tax dollars,” landowner Kurt Pieper said. “But this is part of Lincoln County’s roads which are the major part of what the county is supposed to do.” A trail road does cut through the middle of the NCORPE sections to the north, which Commissioner Micaela Wuehler said Wallace Fire Department Firefighter Shawn Sullivan called “the only thing that helped the firefighters get ahead of the Somerset Fire.” “He said had there not been even just a trail road there, they probably would not have gotten it stopped,” she added. Having the emergency services road would cut down on response time, Pieper said, especially in situations where time is “really of the essence.” Landowner Lynn Flaming also spoke in favor of the road. No action was taken and County Board Chairman Joe Hewgley passed the discussion to the commissioners’ Roads Committee for Wuehler and Woodruff to discuss possible steps forward. Commissioners also discussed, but took no action on, an interlocal agreement with the City of North Platte for use of the City’s animal impound, which Hewgley said included “a substantial raise in the amount of money” the city is charging for the use. The agreement allows for animals found outside city limits to be brought in by the Sheriff's Office to be cared for at the impound. Hewgley mentioned a recent increase in the amount of animals brought in, but when asked by the chairman, Sheriff’s Captain Dan Newton and Jerome Kramer said it was not their office bringing in the strays. “We’re involved with very few of those,” Kramer said. “If Joe Blow citizen brings in animals from a county or village, they go to the animal shelter and the bill becomes (the county’s).” Previously the agreement was that the county was responsible for the first three days the animal was in the shelter. $8 for the first day and each additional day for a total of $24 per animal. The new proposed agreement would be $35 for the first day and $10 for each additional day. It also stipulates that the county would be responsible for any vet bills. Since both Hershey and Sutherland have their own agreements with the impound, Kramer said the bill for animals found there would go back to them. “But these animals are coming from everywhere, by everybody and (the county’s) getting the tab,” he said. During committee reports, Wuehler brought up the revenue hearing at the State Capitol last Friday, which Bruns did not get to testify at since the hearing was invite only. Wuehler said she did watch the livestream of the hearing as they discussed inheritance tax and unfunded mandates.

NEW YORK — Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka , has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations and several years of fighting Russia in court. The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is “experiencing financial difficulties” and lists between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its U.S. business. Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the United States, which loosely translates to “capital city” in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas . Stoli Group’s founder, Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, was exiled from that nation in 2000 because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Intel announced on December 2 that CEO Pat Gelsinger has resigned after a difficult stint at the company. The once-dominant chipmaker’s stock cratered as it missed the AI boom and was surpassed by most of its rivals. The liquor has long been marketed as a Russian vodka, but its production facilities have been in Latvia for several decades. Stoli Group is a unit of Luxembourg-based SPI Group, which owns other spirit and wine brands. “The Stoli Group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since it was formed nearly 25 years ago,” said Stoli Group CEO Chris Caldwell in a statement. “Earlier this year the company and our owner were both named by the Russian state as ‘extremist groups working against Russia’s interests.’” Its ongoing legal battle with the Russia government has forced Stoli to “spend dozens of millions of dollars on this long-term court battle across the globe with the Russian authorities,” according to its court filing. Caldwell also said that Stoli’s global operations has been a “victim of a malicious cyber attack” that has forced the company to operate “entirely manually while the systems are rebuilt.” A slowdown in demand for alcohol has crushed several company’s bottom lines following the pandemic when people were stuck at home and stocked up. Stoli’s filings said that it has seen a “decline and softening of demand for alcohol and spirits products post-Covid and especially beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2024.” Stoli Group USA, maker of Stoli vodka, has filed for bankruptcy due to slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack, and ongoing legal battles with Russia.

The champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”OMAHA — Creighton did it again. In an in-state women’s college basketball series with Nebraska largely dictated by what happens beyond the 3-point arc, the Jays rallied with six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to beat No. 21 Nebraska 80-74 on Friday at Sokol Arena. At one point in the fourth quarter, the Jays made four straight 3-pointers. The Jays were 6 for 9 on threes in the fourth quarter and 13 for 29 for the game to give Nebraska its first loss to the season. The Jays outscored Nebraska by 24 points on 3-pointers. Creighton has won three straight in the series. Lauren Jensen had a game-high 31 points for the Jays with four 3s. Morgan Maly, a senior from Crete, scored 18. Alexis Markowski worked really hard for Nebraska, finishing with 26 points and 12 rebounds and calling for the ball inside where she often had an advantage. Britt Prince added 20 points in the first game against her hometown school. Nebraska led 55-52 to start the fourth quarter. For the final 10 minutes, one of the questions was how much did Markowski have left? And also, could the Huskers defend the 3-point line just a little longer? The Jays made two of their first three 3-point attempts to start the quarter to regain a 60-57 lead. Molly Mogensen had the first one, and Jensen the second for her fourth of the game. When Mogensen made another three the Jays led 72-66. The Jays sealed the deal when Prince missed a 3-pointer with seven seconds left and the Jays made their free throws. Nebraska led 22-19 after the first quarter. It was an entertaining start. The game started with Markowski going at Maly inside the paint, the Nebraska natives who played in the same club in Lincoln. There were five combined 3-pointers, with three for the Jays and two for Nebraska (each from Prince). Creighton used a 13-2 run that included three 3-pointers to take a 15-8 lead. But Nebraska got back in it with a steal and layup from Allison Weidner and a take to the basket from Callin Hake. Creighton added two more 3-pointers in the second quarter, but Nebraska was able to keep a lead at halftime 37-35. Reach the writer at 402-473-7435 or bwagner@journalstar.com .

Rich countries’ promise of $300 billion a year in climate finance brought fury at talks in Baku from poor nations that found it too paltry, but it also shows a shift in global political realities. The two-week marathon COP29 climate conference opened days after the decisive victory in the US presidential election of Donald Trump, a sceptic both of climate change and foreign aid. In the new year, Germany, Canada and Australia all hold elections in which conservatives less supportive of green policies stand chances of victory. Britain is an exception, with the new Labour government putting climate high back on the agenda, but in much of the West, concerns about inflation and budgetary shocks from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have dented enthusiasm for aggressive climate measures. At COP29, Germany and the European Union maintained their roles championing climate but also advocated a noticeably practical approach on how much money historical polluters should give poorer countries. “We live in a time of truly challenging geopolitics, and we should simply not have the illusion” otherwise, European climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra told bleary-eyed delegates at COP29’s pre-dawn closing session Sunday, as activists in the back loudly coughed to drown him out. But he vowed leadership by Europe, hailing COP29 as “the start of a new era for climate finance”. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, a Green party member and longtime climate advocate, called for flexibility on ways to provide funding. Europe should “live up to its responsibilities, but in a way that it doesn’t make promises it can’t keep”, she said. Avinash Persaud, special advisor on climate change to the president of the Inter-American Development Bank, called the final deal “the boundary between what is politically achievable today in developed countries and what would make a difference in developing countries”. Activists say that climate funding is a duty, not choice, for wealthy nations whose decades of greenhouse gas emissions most contributed to the crisis that most hits the poorest. This year is again set to be the hottest on record on the planet. Just since COP29, deadly storms have battered the Philippines and Honduras, and Ecuador declared a national emergency due to drought and forest fires. – ‘Creative accounting’? – Wealthy historic emitters’ promise of $300 billion a year by 2035 is a step up from an expiring commitment of $100 billion annually, but all sides acknowledge it is not enough. The COP29 agreement cites the need for $1.3 trillion per year, meaning a whopping $1 trillion a year needs to come from elsewhere. Even within the $300 billion commitment, some activists see too much wiggle room. “It is, to some extent, almost an empty promise,” said Mariana Paoli, the global advocacy lead at London-based development group Christian Aid. She described the target as “creative accounting”, saying there was not enough clarity on how much money would come from public funds and in grants rather than loans. She acknowledged the politics of the moment but said that wealthy nations had options such as taxation on fossil fuel companies. “There is a backlash because there is no political will,” she said. – Role for multinational banks – In one closely scrutinised part of the Baku deal, countries will be able to count climate finance through international financial institutions toward the $300 billion goal. The text states that it is “voluntary” — potentially opening the way to include China, which is the world’s largest emitter but refuses to have requirements like long-developed countries. In a joint statement at COP29, multilateral development banks led by the Washington-based World Bank Group but also including the Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank — which has long faced US criticism — expected that they together can provide $120 billion annually in climate financing and mobilise another $65 billion from the private sector by 2030. Melanie Robinson, director of the global climate program at the World Resources Institute, said there were good reasons to rely on multinational development banks, including how much capital they can leverage and their tools to advance green policies. “They are the most effective way to turn each dollar of finance into impact on the ground,” she said. She agreed that the $300 billion was insufficient but added, “It’s a down payment on what we need.” Beyond the debate on dollar figures, she pointed to an initiative within the G20 by Brazil, which holds COP30 next year, to reform financial institutions so as to incorporate debtor nations as well as climate concerns. “There is really a much bigger opportunity for us — which is shifting the whole financial system,” she said.

La decisión del fiscal especial Jack Smith, quien había buscado fervientemente responsabilizar penalmente a Trump por sus intentos por anular los resultados de las elecciones de 2020, representó el fin de las labores federales contra el exmandatario después de su victoria electoral de este mes, la cual lo llevó de regreso a la Casa Blanca a pesar de las causas penales en su contra relacionadas con los comicios y varios otros cargos. La decisión, dada a conocer en documentos judiciales, también significa un final, predecible aunque no menos sorprendente, de los casos penales que eran considerados como los más peligrosos entre las múltiples amenazas legales que enfrenta Trump. Es un reflejo de las consecuencias prácticas de la victoria electoral de Trump, la cual le garantiza que asumirá el cargo libre de escrutinio sobre su retención de documentos ultrasecretos y sus intentos por anular los resultados de la elección presidencial de 2020, la cual perdió ante el demócrata Joe Biden. El equipo de Smith enfatizó que la decisión de dejar de lado las acusaciones, presentadas ante tribunales federales en Washington y Florida, no reflejaba su opinión sobre los méritos de los casos, sino más bien un reflejo de su compromiso con la política del departamento. “Dicha restricción es categórica y no depende de la gravedad de los delitos, la solidez del caso del gobierno o los méritos para ser procesado, mismos que el gobierno defiende por completo”, escribieron los fiscales en los documentos presentados ante el tribunal el lunes en el caso de interferencia electoral. La decisión era de esperarse después de que el equipo de Smith comenzó a evaluar la manera de poner fin tanto al caso de interferencia electoral de 2020 como al caso separado de documentos clasificados en el contexto de la victoria de Trump sobre la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris. El Departamento de Justicia cree que Trump ya no puede ser procesado de acuerdo con la política de larga data que establece que los presidentes en funciones no pueden ser procesados. Trump ha dicho que ambos casos fueron presentados por motivaciones políticas y había prometido despedir a Smith tan pronto como asumiera el cargo en enero. El caso de las elecciones de 2020, presentado el año pasado, fue visto en su momento como una de las amenazas legales más serias que enfrentaba el republicano mientras competía por recuperar la Casa Blanca. Pero no tardó en estancarse en medio de las disputas legales sobre las afirmaciones de Trump de que gozaba de inmunidad a ser procesado por las acciones que tomó mientras estaba en la Casa Blanca. La Corte Suprema dictaminó por primera vez en julio pasado que los expresidentes gozan de una amplia inmunidad a ser procesados, y envió el caso de regreso a la jueza federal Tanya Chutkan para determinar cuáles de las acusaciones, de ser el caso, podrían proceder a juicio. El caso apenas comenzaba a cobrar impulso nuevamente en el tribunal a falta de unas semanas para las elecciones de este año. El equipo de Smith presentó un extenso informe en octubre en el cual se detallaron nuevas evidencias que planeaban usar contra Trump durante el juicio, acusándolo de “recurrir a delitos” como parte de un intento cada vez más desesperado por revertir la voluntad de los votantes después de su derrota electoral ante el presidente Joe Biden.

NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best on record and coming off . Target, which recently gave a , fell 1.2%. , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for which recently began to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai.

Peppers missed seven games since being placed on the list on Oct. 9 after he was arrested and charged with shoving his girlfriend’s head into a wall and choking her. The league said its review is ongoing and is not affected by the change in Peppers’ roster status. Braintree, Massachusetts, police said they were called to a home for an altercation between two people on Oct. 7, and a woman told them Peppers choked her. Police said they found at the home a clear plastic bag containing a white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine. Peppers, 29, pleaded not guilty in Quincy District Court to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class “B” substance believed to be cocaine. At a court appearance last week a trial date was set for Jan. 22. “Any act of domestic violence is unacceptable for us,” Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said after the arrest. “With that being said, I do think that Jabrill has to go through the system, has to continue to go through due process. We’ll see how that works out.” A 2017 first-round draft choice by Cleveland, Peppers spent two seasons with the Browns and three with the New York Giants before coming to New England in 2022. He was signed to an extension this summer. He played in the first four games of the season and missed one with a shoulder injury before going on the exempt list, which allows NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to place a player on paid leave while reviewing his case.

Former pro taps into Newcastle's basketball boom with coaching business

Federal prosecutors moved to dismiss the criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump that accused him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election and to abandon the classified documents case against him, citing longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. The decision by special counsel Jack Smith, who had fiercely sought to hold Mr Trump criminally accountable for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, represented the end of the federal effort against the former president following his election victory this month despite the election-related cases and multiple other unrelated criminal charges against him. The move, announced in court papers, marks the end of the Justice Department’s landmark effort to hold Mr Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. In court papers, prosecutors said the Justice Department’s position “is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”. Mr Smith’s team emphasised that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Mr Smith’s team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Mr Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Mr Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated and has vowed to fire Mr Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. However, it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Mr Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The US Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Mr Smith’s team filed a lengthy brief in October laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.HUHUTECH International Group Inc. Announces Partial Exercise of Over-Allotment OptionBelfast was originally to host five games in the tournament at a newly-built Casement Park, but wrangling over the stadium saw the UK Government pull the plug on funding with the then estimated costs in excess of £300m. Now local company Z Property has brought an ambitious proposal to reignite the city’s Euro dream directly to the Stormont Executive and the Irish FA. The plans include the construction of a modular, temporary stadium close to the city centre to host NI’s games during the tournament, which takes place in less than four years. Estimating the project would take around nine months to complete to UEFA’s specifications, the company said the stadium could be built and operational at least a year before the tournament kicks off. A temporary stadium constructed from shipping containers – Stadium 974 – was used during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Named after the country’s international dialling code and the number of containers used, the steel structure was designed with a view to repurposing the material after the event. Z Property said their Belfast plan would provide a “cost-effective, sustainable alternative to permanent construction”. Commercial Manager Paul Durnien said: “This plan isn’t just about football — it’s about showcasing Belfast’s resilience and ingenuity. "The modular approach offers a practical solution that works with tight timelines, existing infrastructure, and significantly reduced costs. It’s a chance to celebrate football in Northern Ireland in a way that we can all be proud of.” Four potential sites in Belfast have been identified by the company – one of which is the vacant Sirocco Works site in east Belfast – as having the appropriate transport links. The firm said the project could be fast-tracked if there was “political will and public support”. Managing Director Scott Kennedy said: “As football fans and long-time players in construction, we’re heartbroken that Northern Ireland is missing out on this incredible opportunity. "But instead of lamenting what could have been, we decided to act. A modular stadium is not only viable — it’s the key to putting Belfast back on the Euro 2028 map. "We have the expertise, the vision, and the passion to make this happen. Belfast deserves to be part of Euro 2028, and we are ready to rise to the challenge. "Now, it’s up to the community, local authorities, and government to join us in making this dream a reality.” The company said they had already approached Communities Minister Gordon Lyons and IFA Chief Executive Patrick Nelson with their ambitious proposals. Both have been approached for comment.
