Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Shared Island Unit: Department of the Taoiseach

Ms ?mer Deane:

Yes. Generally, Departments do have a North-South section. This is a priority area under the programme for Government, and, in the context of the NSMC and supporting its work, it flows down to departmental level. I would not know the precise detail of how different Departments are structured, but we work with every Department and we have someone we can call in every Department to discuss the shared island initiative and how it sits within the broader area of North-South co-operation.
