Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Cross-Border Co-operation in Education: Discussion

12:40 pm

Dr. Anne Taheny:

Perhaps I can follow on to respond to the questions from Deputy Tuffy in respect of our application for funding to date. The main source we have used has been SCoTENS seed funding for smaller projects. As outlined in our earlier presentation we would have availed of PEACE funding and also the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation for projects already completed. We will continue to make application through the various bodies. However, what we are seeking is a broader commitment from the Ministers in both jurisdictions. If this is a project to which both are committed, perhaps they would potentially consider a stream of funding for the development of such cross-Border collaborations as we are presenting today.
