Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

All-Island Economy: Discussion (Resumed)

It is really interesting that Professor Doyle has said that the economies were at a similar place in 1998. Obviously, the Republic has transformed and the North really has not over that period. The promise of the Good Friday Agreement was peace, prosperity, reconciliation and equality. We have the absence of violence, broadly, but those other things have not really happened to the scale that I think we all expected. I imagine that if Stephen Farry were here, he would talk about the duplication of services. Is there any analysis of that in terms of segregation that may impact economic growth in the North?
