A practical issue for me would be something like the shared island unit with the extra finances the State now has being invested in a cross-Border project to create the sort of society Professor FitzGerald is talking about with a significant investor company, be it between Derry and Donegal or Louth and Down. The concept of the Belfast economic corridor is the driver of the shared towns or cities of Drogheda, Dundalk and Newry. There is potential for us in the South to invest in joint projects or job creation opportunities. I do not know how Professor FitzGerald feels about that. Is it pie in the sky?
