Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2006
1150 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the position regarding the Ulster Canal; will progress be made without a working Northern Ireland Assembly; if he has examined with his UK counterparts other ways of moving this vital cross-border, cross-community project forward; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn my reply to Question No. 496 of 4 July 2006, I informed the Deputy that I met the new Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, Ms Maria Eagle, MP, on 19 June 2006 and took the opportunity, inter alia, to discuss the Ulster Canal with her. When I meet with Minister Eagle again it will provide an opportunity for us to further explore ways in which this issue might be taken forward.
