I am happy to work on a cross-Border basis and I am all for wider co-operation. We need to do that in terms of arts, heritage and the natural heritage. There is a lot of departmental co-operation. Yesterday, I met the two new Northern Ireland Ministers, Paul Givan and Chris Hazzard. I had a very good working relationship with the previous Ministers, Carál Ní Chuilín and Michelle McIlveen. If there are areas on which we can co-operate, as we did on the Famine commemoration last year, which was a huge success, I am happy to facilitate such co-operation. We worked very closely with the local authorities in Newry on that project. Anywhere I see opportunities to co-operate on a cross-Border basis, I am very happy to do so.
