The Minister mentioned that people come to him from all over the country with different projects and so on. The remit of this committee is implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.

I agree with my colleagues' remarks on the Narrow Water bridge project. I could not believe what happened. I thought it was a certainty. It is important that we get clarification on who made the mistake. It is critical that we get that information.

Was the local authority on the other side of the Border as enthusiastic about this project as Louth County Council? As I understand it, the whole county had bought into that project. Were the people on the Six Counties side as enthusiastic about it? I have heard rumours.
