Mr. John James O'Hara:

Investment needs to be made right along the Border. We have been developing tourism and technology under industry 4.0. It is a development to look at new projects under youth unemployment. It is focused on young people and where new technologies within Europe are being developed. One fund was funded by the BEDF. The total funding for that was €15 million and this should be increased. Originally, €400 million from the Brexit fund was to go towards industry. This has not happened and only €15 million has come out in the past 12 months. To make a real investment in our young people, we need to develop the brand tourism and technology. We need people for the future, young people who can go into a new market. Ireland is lagging behind by five years in technology. Industry for technology, robotics, cobotics, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D printing and 4D printing are all areas students in the Border region can capitalise on. We have six colleges on both sides of the Border that can educate the staff and encourage new companies to come to these areas.
