lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I thank the rapporteur for the specific references in his report to two major fundings in Northern Ireland relating to our peace process and for his positive response to the International Fund for Ireland, which is funded not just by Europe but also by the United States, Canada and Australia. I would advise other regions with serious problems of unemployment to study the work of the International Fund in Northern Ireland and the border counties. It has done such outstanding work. For example, it has funded some 4 600 projects, creating 38 000 jobs, and almost 90% of these jobs are in areas of high unemployment and in deprived areas. Some 9 000 people from cross-community groups have been involved in these projects for creating jobs in Northern Ireland and some 5 000 people have been involved in the cross-border projects. It has done an outstanding job and I welcome the positive response in the report to it. There is also the Special Peace Programme from the European Union itself. At grass-roots level in Northern Ireland it too is bringing together people from both sections of our community, in particular with projects for young people – young men and women. There are shared-city initiatives to promote community; there is development and training for unemployed women – I am just singling out some of the very successful operations that are going on – the development of the food industry and, of course, the new housing development. We very much welcome and deeply thank the Commission for this, and the Council of Ministers for the Special Peace Programme for Northern Ireland. I should like to express my deep gratitude to all my colleagues in this Parliament for their unanimous support for this peace project because it is making such a very positive contribution to the development of peace in my country."@en1
