The first substantial document on how North-South interrelationships in Ireland should be developed for maximum benefit in the wake of the Belfast Agreement was published in Belfast yesterday.
No Frontiers has been jointly researched by the Belfast-based think-tank, Democratic Dialogue, the UCD Business School, Co-operation Ireland and the Combat Poverty Agency. It argues that North-South integration should go much further than the 12 areas for co-operation agreed last year. Its recommendations include the construction of an all-island infrastructural plan, the setting-up of a single agency to channel inward investment across the island, and a broadening of the remit of the languages implementation body to address broader issues of culture and reconciliation.
