On North-South co-operation, a provision of more than €37.7 million is made available to support the two North-South implementation bodies, namely, an Foras Teanga, comprising Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency, and Waterways Ireland. These are also subject to the approval of the North-South Ministerial Council. In respect of Waterways Ireland, the overall allocation of almost €23 million is adjusted in line with efficiency savings mandated by the finance Departments, both North and South. If there are any questions on Foras na Gaeilge, the Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, will take them.
