I understand that it is aspirational but there is huge growth on the Belfast to Dublin corridor. Senator McGahon and I live on that economic corridor. I know there is criticism that there is too much investment but that is now being addressed with the A5 road and so forth. I wish to say that, since the Good Friday Agreement, the witnesses' unit and their Department are making a significant difference. As Senator McGahon outlined, the shared island fund is hugely important. We wish it every success, regardless of what person or party is in government in the future. This is a key project for the whole island and it is working well. I thank the witnesses for their attendance.
