Dublin to reveal significant spending across borders

The Irish government will soon announce a lot of money for projects that involve both Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The Dublin cabinet will have a meeting to say yes to the plans. The plans will make sure that the £400m money promise for the A5 road will be kept.

Exciting news about funding for Casement Park in west Belfast is expected to be announced soon. It’s believed to be in the tens of millions.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, Deputy Prime Minister Micheál Martin, and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan will talk to the media at lunchtime.

It is expected that the funding news will have updates on projects that have already been announced, as well as new funding for education, health, and infrastructure, such as the Narrow Water Bridge Project.

The BBC said on Monday that the A5 road from Dublin to Londonderry will get all the money it was promised and everything will be paid for.

Hopes went up last week when the prime minister was asked to give the government more money.

Mr Varadkar said in the Irish parliament that they will think about giving more money to finish the big upgrade. They had less money for it during the financial crash.

‘Enough is enough’

Niall McKenna, part of the Enough is Enough campaign, said he believes the road will be upgraded. The group was formed after John Rafferty died in 2020.

He was talking on the Good Morning Ulster show on BBC.

“We are very sure that it will happen this time – we can see everything going the right way and we are very sure it will happen,” he said.

“Too many people have died on the A5 road. This road is really dangerous and we need to make sure it stops killing our members. ”

Mr McKenna said that people’s attitudes have changed a lot.

He said, “People are not okay with not getting the A5 anymore. ”

Today’s announcements are a part of the project started by Mr. Martin when he was the leader of the government in 2020.

The Irish government’s new plan for the next 10 years includes a lot of money for projects in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The government plans to invest more than €3. 5bn (£3bn) by 2030 in projects that bring the people of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland together. This money will come from different funds and programs, including the Shared Island Fund, Project Ireland 2040, North/South cooperation, and the PEACEPLUS program, which is a partnership with the European Union, UK Government, and Northern Ireland Executive.
