Text
Work is ongoing in looking at the action plans and the additional funding that has come through the Shared Island Fund. There is collaboration with InterTradeIreland and Invest NI. We are also looking at our subregional economic plans to make sure that we have grassroots traction on the ground. We do not have specific details on going forward, but, once those are available, we will be able to share them with Members.
