I want the Taoiseach to engage with his colleagues in the North. The Minister for Finance and Personnel in the North, Mr. Sammy Wilson, MP, is withholding the final funding for this beautiful bridge. The EU has agreed to contribute €18 million if the project goes ahead, with €3 million more being given by the Minister, Mr. Wilson, as the North's contribution. This beautiful bridge linking North and South will be built by 2015. President McAleese's theme as President was building bridges. What could be more appropriate than building this bridge connecting the Mourne Mountains and the Cooley Mountains and developing the tourism industry North and South? I see my colleague, Senator Terry Brennan, smiling and supporting me in what I am saying.
