The Government’s new shared-island unit will oversee the spending of €500m in improving cross-border infrastructure between now and 2024, the Cabinet heard.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin briefed ministers on the progress made since the unit was established with the aim of protecting the peace process and the all-island economy in the context of the EU-UK Brexit agreement.
