Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Eoghan Duffy:

Regarding planning a slightly broader level, there is the national development plan for the Government here. There is a shared island chapter to that which sets out objectives for investment for the next ten years across virtually all sectors of the economy. A lot of work was done across Departments to prepare that and to think about what would work best from the Northern Ireland Executive perspective. Similarly, on the Northern Ireland side there is the draft investment strategy for Northern Ireland which extends out for ten years.

There are high-level plans and investment objectives on both sides for Departments, North and South, to come together and work on, and we are certainly encouraging them to do that.
