"Mr President, there is one financial matter of importance to Ireland which I would like to focus on during this wide-ranging debate on the budget. This relates to the continuation of the European Peace and Reconciliation Fund for the period 2000 to 2006. As a Member of Parliament for the constituency of Connaught/Ulster I certainly welcome the decision of EU leaders taken in Cologne this year to ensure the continuation of this programme. Peace and Reconciliation has been successful. I believe it was a wise and sensible decision to continue this programme. For the border county region which I represent it will be worth something in the region of IEP 80 million. But my primary concern relates to the transitional period between the ending of the existing programme and the commencement of the next programme. It is important that transitional financial arrangements are put in place so as to guarantee that those organisations who oversee the fund can smoothly make the changeover from the existing programme to the new programme. In conclusion, I believe a roll-over will ensure the retention of the excellent staff on both sides of the border who have played no small part in ensuring the success of the programme."@en1
