I am aware of the excellent work of the IBEC-CBI Joint Business Council in promoting economic co-operation on the island of Ireland over many years. At its meeting on 8 March next, the joint business council proposes to formally endorse an action plan for the period 2005-6. The action plan will comprise key actions drawn from more than 100 recommendations contained in a number of North-South joint business council reports and will, I understand, cover a range of issues within the remits of various Departments.

I very much welcome this initiative by the business council and look forward to discussing with it, after its adoption of the action plan, how best to advance those actions which concern areas for which my own Department is responsible.
