Dr. Seamus McGuinness:

We have to recognise that there are limitations in terms of the mandate by means of which the shared island unit can implement policies on an all-Ireland level. Work done on infrastructure, including, for example, in the context of the Warrenpoint to Omeath bridge and the motorway. Recognising that there is a limited mandate, the train service is the first thing I would put on the list. I know there is co-funding on the basis of upgrading the current Enterprise stock. That would be useful in practical terms and would have benefits for the all-island labour market. It would also potentially help to ease bottlenecks around housing and skills shortages in both regions. I would advise that the money be invested there.
