British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
This Bill is technical in nature and gives effect to the six North-South Implementation Bodies the Minister of State mentioned – Waterways Ireland, the Food Safety Promotion Board, the trade and business development board – InterTradeIreland, the special EU programmes body, the Loughs Agency of the Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission and An Foras Teanga, which includes the Ulster Scots Agency. It is interesting that An Foras Teanga covers the whole island as the teaching of Irish in some Northern schools was often a bone of contention.
