Text
The All-Island Economy
That this Assembly recognises that stronger north-south economic cooperation delivers practical benefits for workers, businesses and communities, and makes economic sense irrespective of constitutional preference; regrets that effective cross-border economic cooperation has not been consistently prioritised by the Executive, including by key departments such as the Department of Infrastructure, the Department for the Economy and the Department of Finance; acknowledges that barriers to cross-border economic cooperation have had negative impacts across the island of Ireland; and calls on the Executive to work with the Irish Government to prioritise enhanced cooperation on strategic infrastructure, including rail, energy networks and digital connectivity, strengthen cooperation on skills and labour-market alignment, and establish an all-island economic task force to drive delivery on agreed economic priorities.
