Éamon Ó Cuív: An é go mbeidh an tAire Stáit ag déileáil le Rialtas Sasana? Nuair a bhí mé san oifig seo, ba é mo thaithí ná nach raibh spéis dá laghad ag an Rialtas thall i Londain sa cheist seo nuair a bhíomar á plé leis.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá a fhios agam é sin, ach tá mé ag iarraidh a fháil amach cé hé nó hí an duine a dhéanfaidh na cinnithe faoi dheireadh, mar a dhéanann an tAire Stáit na cinnithe ó Dheas.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Maybe I will put this question to the Minister, Deputy Humphreys. As the senior partner in the operation of the North-South bodies, has she had any ministerial meetings with her counterparts in the North since January?

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am a bit puzzled because even though the position was very unsatisfactory during a previous hiatus, at least we had designated Ministers from Westminster to deal with. The planning for next year has to go ahead.

Éamon Ó Cuív: We are nine or ten months into this year. The way we are going, it will soon be too late to make decisions for next year. Are there ministerial contacts between the Ministers? There must be some political control. I presume Westminster is responsible. Has the Minister had ministerial contacts with her counterparts about next year's budget?

Éamon Ó Cuív: Okay. I have a second question. When there was a significant level of demand for office buildings in Dublin some time ago - it is even greater now than it was then - it was proposed to sell a piece of air that was known as block C for a considerable sum of money. The idea at the time was that the money in question would be used to bring the Ulster Canal to Clones. Has there been any talk...

Éamon Ó Cuív: We all know that if things were good around the docklands area of Dublin, they are even better now. One need only walk around there and count the cranes. This was down near the Grand Canal basin on the railway line. The Minister might come back to me and give me a brief on that. How many metres in length is this extension the Department is carrying out to Castle Saunderson?

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----is the Ulster Canal. The Government should prioritise it. It is a strategic North-South project. Every community in the North of Ireland was in favour of it so it was a real unity project. Under this new capital plan the Minister will bring in for Christmas, the project should really be prioritised. Anyone who knows what the Shannon-Erne Waterway did for that region can see that the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, it is not. It is a specific question. I am asking the Minister specifically, since I have never asked her the question until now, why the money was not reallocated to other things that could be done within the calendar year to achieve full spend.
