I am just trying to establish whether there is a dedicated unit in each Department looking at North-South projects and planning. I will explain why I wish to know about this context. There are several reasons. Deputy Louise O'Reilly and I met the British Irish Chamber of Commerce the other day as well, which is the collective representative group for businesses. Its representatives were all talking about challenges and opportunities in terms of growth, prosperity and all that. The mention of the whole-of-government approach led me to wonder if there are dedicated units in each area looking at the things being raised. I am asking because, as is often the case, businesses are ahead of the curve in terms of how we need to be planning in this regard.
