Is the Minister aware that there are a number of committees working in the area of cross-Border co-operation who are deeply interested in the question of the expenditure of this special fund. I have in mind in particular Bord Fáilte. In the east Border region, which comprises the counties of Down, Armagh, Monaghan and Cavan and where we have a natural blend of the two hinterlands, would the Minister consider actively encouraging the formation of administrative structures for the joint promotion of tourism.

That seems to be a separate question but I assure the Deputy that I will be happy to consider any proposal from any group on the lines of assisting the promotion or development of tourism in the Border areas.
