WHAT THEY SAY…

It is an honour and privilege to be able to support the valuable work of the Centre for Cross Border Studies by launching the Journal of Cross Border Studies in Ireland today.
One of the first things I did when I came to the Department of the Taoiseach in 2004-2005 was to attend an earlier launch of the journal, and I have always found the journal and the Centre’s other publications to be fundamental to understanding how cross-border cooperation works on the island of Ireland…
The word ‘quiet’ in the phrase ‘quiet success story’ used by the Taoiseach in his interview was key then – this was quiet, slow, sensitive work. Real progress was a trade-off against PR: quiet success was better than noisy friction.
I believe the future will involve more, not less, such quiet work in an all-island context. So this North-South dimension remains really crucial: we have to strive to keep it going as much as we can.
