Ms Ciara Carberry:

We do this jointly with the sponsor Departments. As has been outlined, the North-South body operates quite differently. There is an extensive amount of contact and co-operation between our Department in Dublin and the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland. We meet very regularly. We probably do have more layers in there than with a State agency that operates in just one jurisdiction. There are always far wider considerations at play because the functions of North-South bodies are wider than their immediate operational functions as well-----
