Under the Fresh Start Agreement, the then Northern Ireland Executive and the Government agreed to undertake a review of the proposed Narrow Water Bridge project with a view to identifying options for its future development, for consideration by the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC). In this context, following on from consultation with stakeholders, I understand that an options paper has been under preparation.

As the proposed bridge is still at the options appraisal stage, specific funding has not been set aside for the project.
