I want to welcome the photography society from St. Mary's, Drumcar, and Drumcar Park Enterprises, who are visiting the Houses today.

I commend my fellow Louth man, Senator Brennan, for his work over the past several years and that of others on the Narrow Water bridge in Carlingford. Yesterday, the Minister for Finance in Northern Ireland, Sammy Wilson, agreed to sanction funding for the bridge. As a member of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and a native of Dundalk, I have long campaigned for this project to come to fruition. I am delighted on the 15th anniversary of the agreement that the funding for this project has been secured. I have no doubt this will be a significant economic and tourism boost for north Louth and south Down. The building of this bridge has been alluded to on many occasions by myself and others. It will also be a significant symbolic significance and will be the first bridge to unify both the North and the South.

The excellent news is a tribute to the unified and concerted work by many people both North and South. I commend everyone involved in working together. It shows what a community can do and shows how far we have gone when we have the trust and work of both county councils and chambers of commerce both North and South. I look forward to this bridge being built with local jobs being provided. I also look forward to a lot more water flowing under this particular bridge.

The Senator is way over time.

I also add my voice to the concerns about the "Prime Time" programme shown last night.

The Senator is way over time. I call the Deputy Leader.
