Calls for further investment into border counties

The Minister of State for Enterprise says we can rebuild an island economy if we stop viewing cross border trade as competition.

Neale Richmond adds now is the time to make up for border region investments that were lost due to Brexit.

He also says the Republic should utilise Northern Ireland's unique access to both UK and EU markets. The Minister says Cavan and Monaghan are in a unique location to benefit from driving investment into the region. Minister Richmond says cross border trade is currently valued at over €11 billion and now is only the beginning for our all-island economy.#
