Thank you, Minister. I will go through the order again. We will hear from Fine Gael, Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, SDLP, Alliance, Independents, Aontú, Sinn Féin, Labour and then the Green Party. Senator Currie is here but I cannot see everyone. My apologies for that. I am not sure whether Senator McGahon is there. If he is not, there is no problem. Each party will have 15 minutes to ask questions and hear the answers.

I wish to congratulate the shared island unit, Government representatives and civil servants involved in getting the Narrow Water bridge project to the stage it is now at. The project is really important and is a sign of peace and reconciliation. The funding to ensure that this important project materialises will greatly benefit peace and progress North and South, especially in my constituency of Louth and in County Down. It will be most beneficial. It is a sign of the good things that can happen if we can reach appropriate and proper accommodation on the island, North and South. I call Senator Currie.
