Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Londonderry Chamber of Commerce and Foyle Port

Mr. Paul Clancy:

It is more from an information-sharing perspective at this stage. We have not brought our own projects and thoughts to the table yet. We have been working with the universities. Ulster University Magee Campus has a potential research project working with the chamber. From memory, I understand that Cork Chamber might also be involved. Therefore, we are working on the matter. Our chamber and the board would love to have some projects that we can say come from the shared island initiative but we have not got that far yet. We understand, however, that good ideas are always welcome. We are involved in the regular communications with the shared island unit on what is happening. As late as last week, the Taoiseach gave an update on what was actually happening. There is more to be done.
