At the time of the Good Friday Agreement, North South co-operation issues were handled in a broader framework rather than in a specific North South cooperation unit. These issues continue to be dealt with by the Department's Anglo-Irish Division. Currently within that Division there is a team of five officers made up of one Counsellor, two at First Secretary/Assistant Principal level, one Third Secretary and one Clerical Officer who deal primarily with matters relating to North South economic co-operation.
