Speaking after being selected Mr McCrossan said, “It is a
real honour to take over from Joe Byrne in the Assembly. He is the reason I joined
the party and I’ve worked closely with him for many years now. I know this was
not an easy decision for him but he’s remaining as Party Treasurer and I know
he’ll be a close advisor.
“The energy in the room last night (Thursday 17th Dec) was a testimony
to the work Joe has done over the years, and I know full well the
responsibility I am taking on. But it is a challenge that l am ready for and I
would like to thank everyone who supported me last night.”
He added, “As the next MLA for West Tyrone I will campaign
for proper commitment to funding the A5, for strategic investment in increasing
apprenticeship places and for Northern Ireland to remain within Europe.”
