Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Implementation Bodies (31 Jan 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Will the Tánaiste outline the details of the new shared island civic society fund?

Can the Tánaiste report on his recent meetings with Wavetron?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Implementation Bodies (31 Jan 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: On the shared island civic society fund, I was 20 years of age in 1997 when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1997. The majority of people on this island have adult memories that do not involve the Troubles. That is a positive thing. However, it also means that we must make sure we do not forget the lessons that were learned from process relating to the development of the Good Friday...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Implementation Bodies (31 Jan 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: In his continued conversations with Secretary of State Blinken, I hope the Tánaiste will continue to underscore the important role the US has played over those 25 years. In many ways, the US in the past played a role as a counterbalance to the British taking a more selfish, strategic and economic interest in the North. One of the most powerful things in the Downing Street Declaration...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: International Relations (31 Jan 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I take the Tánaiste's point. However, I think more can be done to manage the flow of migration. I have no doubt that the Biden Administration is ready to provide support.

Senator Malcolm Byrne and I, as conveners of the US friendship group, have already spoken to the US...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: International Relations (31 Jan 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Like other speakers, I congratulate the Tánaiste and the Minister of State on their appointments.
