Additional Funding for North South Bodies - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘agenda’ and insert:
‘regrets that the Minister of Finance has not secured more fiscal powers to invest more in public services; welcomes the willingness of the Irish Government to increase its funding allocation for the six North South Bodies; believes that the rejection of this additional funding is nonsensical; calls on all Ministers to agree the new funding model to allow additional funding to help deliver and sustain services; and further calls on the Minister of Finance to work with the Irish and UK Governments on the development of a cross-border development strategy which fills funding shortfalls covered by the loss of access to EU structural funds.’
