Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)

It is clear from the Minister's response that there is good co-operation between the North and the South. Long may this continue. Regarding how the strategies for co-operation are set out, is it a case of dealing with matters as they arise or is a 12 or 24 month strategy put in place? How are strategies put in place and what criteria are used? Are there other areas in which cross-Border co-operation is necessary?
