Minister pays tribute to action of NSC staff

Hopes most of facility will be in use again today

The Minister for Education, Culture and Sport has paid tribute to the staff at the NSC after a fire there on Wednesday evening

Graham Cregeen says they did a "great job" and the training for just such an eventuality really paid off, with a smooth evacuation of the building and all customers, staff and visitors accounted for.

Mr Cregeen says it's still not known what caused the blaze - which had started in a locker in the men's gym changing room - but he hoped most of the NSC could be back to normal later on Thursday.
