I see opportunities as well in PEACEPLUS when that is open because it will cover the whole island, not just the councils confined to the Border, as used to be the case. The programme will be spread to all local authorities.

I want to ask the witnesses about biodiversity. What if a community has a biodiversity project in respect of which it wants to do a twinning with a community in the North? I am thinking about Ballycastle and the surrounding area in Mayo. They have a wonderful biodiversity project there and eco-learning and so on, which is really good. We would like to match them with a similar community in the North to be able to do an exchange of learning and so on. Can that be facilitated under the shared island unit?
