Over 50 Articles have been added to the Border Ireland Media Centre since early May. A lot of attention has been given to the recent US/NI investment conference in Belfast and the promotion of North-South economic cooperation -an encouraging sign of growing confidence in an all-island economy. Mayor Bloomberg’s speech can be downloaded here.
More positive news carried in the Media Centre relates to the announcement of jobs for the North-West.
Related to all of this is the recent launch of Border People (www.borderpeople.info) – an online information portal for those who work, live, study or commute across the border. The website is proving to be a vital central point for information relating to both jurisdictions.
Over 100 International Fund for Ireland (IFI) activities have been added to Border Ireland – relating to projects in the year 2006/2007. Activites added included information on Youth Programmes, Sharing Education, Integrated Housing, Integrated Community Organisations etc .
Work on adding IFI funded activities information for the year 2005/2006 is ongoing.
