Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Shared Island Initiative: Department of the Taoiseach
2:00 am

That is the framework in which we work also but the work has to be done in terms of every party and everybody agreeing in this State that we need to prepare. That does not predict the outcome but the preparation needs to be done and that is what we are trying to do on this committee.
I wanted to ask about an example of just one project to see would it come under the shared island unit. The planetarium in Armagh is fantastic but we are trying to replicate something like this in County Mayo for the Ballycroy Wild Nephin National Park. These are two projects that could really blend together for the exchange of learning, for marketing an all-island tourism and all of the that. Is that a project that can be looked at by the shared island unit? Would that fit in with it?
