Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am more than happy to pursue this. The shared island fund has invested significantly in infrastructure. Indeed, I took part in an event with the Cork, Dublin and Belfast chambers of commerce a few weeks ago on the potential to develop all-island projects now that the institutions are up and running. That is definitely one I will pursue. I would also point out that the Port of Cork has communicated to the Department of Transport that it will be beginning construction of the Ringaskiddy east permitted development in quarter 3 of this year, and it intends to have it completed by October 2025. It is beginning development, which is to be commended.

With regard to the shared island fund, I will revert to the Deputy. It is a solid proposal.
