Comment on this

It is great news for the Cooley Peninsula and the Mourne area. It is also great news for North-South relations. Senator Mary Moran put it well when she said it was a positive sign of North-South co-operation that this was finally taking place. The new bridge will bring enormous benefits, as Senator Terry Brennan has pointed out. It shows that 35 years of hard work can really pay off.
