Sinn Fein has met with representatives from energy firm DC Power following concerns over a proposed tidal energy project in Co Antrim.

Mr Oliver McMullun MLA and Caoimhe Archibald said the community in the East Antrim area were concerned about the impact of the proposed project on Fairhead and Murlough Bay where the cables would come ashore.

Mr McMullun said: "This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and and development in the area would have to take that into account and be sensitive to the local environment.

"I will continue to raise the concerns of the local community in relation to this proposal to ensure the environment is protected."
