In the past, some very clever and astute civil servants looked at the delivery of Belfast-Cork cross-Border infrastructure and a lot of money went into Dublin-Cork projects. Deputy Harkin will know about this from her time in the European Parliament. There is a great opportunity, especially at a time when Brexit has done so much damage to the peace process, to look at those acute corridors right on the Border and to show communities there is a dividend from the peace process and that, ultimately, the European project is about peace. That was the genesis of it. I thank Mr. Murphy for his responses.
