North South Ministerial Council
The North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) was established under the Belfast Good Friday Agreement in 1998 to foster consultation, cooperation, and action throughout the island of Ireland. Its focus spans several areas, including agriculture, education, health, environment, tourism, and transport, ensuring that common policies are implemented separately in each jurisdiction.
Additionally, the NSMC oversees various implementation bodies, such as Waterways Ireland and Tourism Ireland, aimed at promoting cross-border collaboration and enhancing the island's international reputation as a tourist destination. The council holds regular meetings to discuss progress and publish joint communiqués reflecting the outcomes of its initiatives. Generated from the website
