Mr. Eoghan Flood:

I would like to address Senator Ó Donnghaile’s point. I completely agree that the Troubles had a big impact on business and industries in the Border are but there are only two ways of fixing this. It is about putting the recognition out there and providing funding and grants for businesses in the Border region and the transport facilities to get people around there so they will want to come and live there and not be scared of the Border. Many people have been scared of the Border. They still are scared of the Border and a united Ireland. This is how it is done and we need recognition of this region in the whole of Ireland, not just in the Border counties.
