borderireland.info: Details collected of over 2300 cross-border activities involving over 3000 contacts, North and South

OFMDFM request Northern Ireland departments and agencies to identify relevant cross-border information for inclusion in Border Ireland.

Border Ireland has now captured information on over 600 publications and 2300 activities across a range of sectors including agriculture, community development, culture, economic development, education, environment, health, tourism, training and development and transport. Border Ireland has documented cross-border work involving over 3000 contacts (individuals and organisations) and 20 different sources of funding.

A demonstration version was released today to a small reference group (28 people) for their comments and feedback. The demonstration version was made available for one week and contains only a fraction of the information we have collected so far, concentrating on the agriculture, education and health sectors.

The Centre has invited key players from Ireland , North and South to a seminar to demonstrate the potential of Border Ireland using some of the information we have generated to date. This seminar will provide a unique opportunity to express how the continued development of Border Ireland could meet organisation’s cross-border information needs.
