Work relating to North-South co-operation is managed centrally by the Corporate Affairs Division of my Department. Officials in other Divisions manage the agreed areas of co-operation under the Good Friday Agreement. As the areas of co-operation under the Agreement are managed as part and parcel of the general responsibilities of the Divisions concerned, it is not possible to apportion staff numbers to the North/South functions.
