Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Shared Island Unit: Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Mickey Brady:

I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I am encouraged by the news that the Narrow Water Bridge is reaching tendering stage. It is in a neighbouring constituency to mine. The provision of that facility will be a huge boost to the Newry, Mourne and Down area. We have had some discussions with the committee and colleagues on the provision of a city park and the issue regarding the greenway. In the Taoiseach's speech, he mentioned ambitious plans for the provision of a greenway as far as the north coast. With regard to the infrastructure, we have a very good greenway going from Newry to Carlingford. It is used a lot and it is of great benefit to the area. Have plans been developed on the provision of further infrastructure such as greenways and the natural environment? Has the Department proceeded with plans in this area?
