Commissioners of Irish Lights is a cross-border body, with its headquarters in Dublin.

Having survived as an all-Ireland institution, the commissioners offer a template for new cross-border bodies introduced as part of the Good Friday Agreement.

It is hard to see Waterways Ireland and the other few cross-border bodies as vehicles taking Ulster into a united Ireland.

It is one of the six originally planned cross-border (all Ireland) bodies set up following the Good Friday Agreement.

Policies in these areas are agreed at North/South Ministerial Council level and administered directly by cross-border bodies.

It is promoted by the Ulster Scots Agency, a cross-border body.

This body, for example, alongside the recently established cross-border body in Ireland for food safety, is already doing good work.

Greater care must be taken to ensure that the cross-border bodies that are in place respect the balance in the region.

A glaring example of this is ICBAN, a cross-border body which in my opinion should not receive any more funding until they rectify the position.

If we can qualify and classify these with the cross-border bodies, we shall have done a very good job.
