North-South funding announced under Shared Island plan

Ministers will today approve €50m in funding for North-South projects under the Shared Island initiative. It will include €45m in funding for a new teaching and student services campus for the Ulster of University in Derry.

A new forum of up to 80 young people from north and south will be set up for people to outline their vision for a shared island. Money will also be allocated to complete the Narrow Water bridge tender and a new respite centre for children diagnosed with cancer across the island.
