Minister announces 'Working For You' exhibit at Balmoral Show

Agriculture Minister, Ian Pearson today urged everyone to visit the

'Northern Ireland Departments…Working for You!' exhibition at the Balmoral Show which begins next week.

The exhibition has been specially created to showcase the many exciting developments across government departments.

Visitors can try out cutting edge technology, alongside everything from road safety to rural issues, broadband to business start-up, and from conservation to careers and lifestyle advice.

Commenting on the exhibition, Mr Pearson said: “I urge everyone to visit the Northern Ireland Departments…Working for You! exhibition, where there is something to interest everyone, regardless of age or gender.

"It provides a unique opportunity to find out more about the services on offer across all of the Departments, and to see at first hand how they use new, exciting and innovative ways of interacting with customers, clients and their families.”
