Text
I also welcome the Minister's statement. There are clearly lots of opportunities for cross-border cooperation on health. I am particularly encouraged by the announcement of the €85 million that has been awarded to 10 projects under the PEACE PLUS programme to target health inequalities in communities in Northern Ireland and in the border counties. Can the Minister tell us more about the projects and how people in those areas will benefit from them?
