Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Shared Island Unit: Department of the Taoiseach
Ms ?mer Deane:
It will happen in a couple of different parts. From a shared island unit perspective, that commitment of €47 million in funding stands and will be programmed in as Waterways Ireland develops the project itself.
The entrepreneurship programme is an area that the three enterprise agencies have identified as a priority that they all share. I am happy to bring to their attention what the Deputy has said to us today and ask them to consider disabled entrepreneurs and whether they can agree on that as a priority focus.
There are a number of issues relating to fuel, whether revenue, health or the environment. It might be an issue that is best raised in the context of the North-South Ministerial Council because, ultimately, I think that is the level that the dialogue would have to take place on, to co-ordinate different standards and rules applying in the two jurisdictions.
