Cowen outlines road to peace

Radically improving infrastructure in both jurisdictions will create economic and social progress and boost political momentum, Finance Minister Brian Cowen said today.

Opening tonight’s Ogra Fianna Fail conference, he said: “I have no doubt that upgrading the Dublin-Derry road or a Belfast-Derry dual carriageway would do more to convince people of the seriousness of our intent to promote North-South economic co-operation than any amount of talking about talks could ever conjure up.”
