The Irish Government regards the re-development of the Ulster Canal as a priority project for progression in a North-South context. I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 1150 on 27 September 2006 in which I indicated that the Ulster Canal project was discussed with the Minister for Culture, Arts, and Leisure, Ms Maria Eagle, MP, when I met her on 19 June 2006. When I meet with Minister Eagle again, it will provide an opportunity for us to further explore the ways in which the re-development of the Ulster Canal can be progressed.
