The Centre for Cross Border Studies is an important catalyst for bringing people to work together across a range of social and economic issues and thus find out what they have in common. The tragedy of the recent past on this island is that we turned our backs on each other and did everything separately. The value the Centre adds is to show how much more we can achieve by working together. — THE TAOISEACH, MR BRIAN COWEN TD, 11 March 2009
The Centre for Cross Border Studies is supported by the EU's INTERREG IVA Programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body
