Much concern has been expressed about a possible loss of funding, particularly in the Border region, as a result of Britain's decision to leave the European Union. The programme for a partnership Government features a commitment on the Narrow Water bridge project. The Government has undertaken to work with the Northern Ireland Executive and undertake a review of the project. Will the Tánaiste confirm that the review will proceed, notwithstanding Brexit, and all parties, North and South, will commit to securing the necessary funding for the project?

I confirm that we stand by the commitments made in the Fresh Start agreement. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, will shortly meet his counterpart in the North to hold further discussions on this matter. The various projects were also discussed at the North-South Ministerial Council meeting held a few days ago. The Government stands by the commitments made in the Fresh Start agreement.
