To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the work that is ongoing at North-South Ministerial Council level in respect of the northwest gateway initiative; the date when the issue is likely to be next discussed by the North-South Ministerial Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The NSMC most recently discussed the North West Gateway Initiative at its meeting in November 2012, and directed officials to prepare for further discussions at Ministerial level in 2013. Work is in hand to prepare for these discussions, although a date has not yet been set for the Ministerial Meeting. For my part, I would like to see the ministerial meeting take place in the near future so that this important initiative can be taken forward without delay.
