1 Billion plus in the NDP for cross border projects. The DUP grudgingly say thank you, although many of their supporters have collectively said fuck off in various blogs. The logic is of course straightforward, the border is economically a pain in the arse and this money will help remove some of its significance.
Serious money for tourism, cross border energy, science and technology, human capital and my own favourite - The Ulster Canal (woot!!!!). While 1 billion out of the pot is damn all, its certainly more than counties like Donegal are gonna see in the carve up. And its only a tiny fraction of what we'll eventually have to shell out if we ever get the chance to buy the fourth green field back from her maj.
You always end up paying over the odds for agricultural land.
