On Wednesday, a delegation of Sinn Féin MPs travelled to Leinster House in Dublin for a meeting with the Shared Island Unit, under the Department of An Taoiseach.

The fund, first established in 2021, works with the northern Executive and the British government to address challenges north and south, support the all-island economy and invest in key projects.

In its Programme for Government, the Irish government committed a further €1 billion in funding up to 2035 for this programme.

“The Shared Island Unit is a positive initiative, supporting communities to thrive and strengthening the flourishing all-island economy,” Sinn Féin MP Dáire Hughes said.

“This was a welcome opportunity to discuss how we can continue to seize on the enormous potential this fund brings for workers, families and businesses on the island.

"It is vital that the opportunities presented by the Shared Island Unit are maximised.

“Let’s continue building a new Ireland—one that creates incredible opportunities and enables everyone who calls this place home to prosper.”
