As Minister for Transport, my role is to liaise with my counterpart on the implementation of the commitments agreed between the Northern Ireland Executive and the Government in the Fresh Start Agreement. My Department is represented on the Senior Officials Group overseeing the implementation of the infrastructure related commitments in the Agreement and this fruitful co-operation under the aegis of the North South Ministerial Council will continue. The commitments expressed in the Fresh Start Agreement in relation to the Narrow Water Bridge remain in place and work is ongoing in that regard, as highlighted in the communiqué from the most recent Plenary meeting of the North South Ministerial Council on 4 July.
