Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Shared Island Unit: Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Eoghan Duffy:

On the point on the national planning framework and so on, that is a cross-government process. We participate in that process and are involved in working with Departments to co-ordinate their input into the planning framework. As for the planning framework and funding decisions, these are ultimately decisions that are made by the Government. They by and large involve bringing together different funding streams. The delivery of those projects, such as greenway or rail projects, lies with the agencies and Departments.
