Narrow Water Bridge Is Key to Unlocking South Down’s Enormous Economic Potential – Hazzard

Sinn Féin MP Chris Hazzard today met with the Shared Island Unit in Dublin Castle as work continues on the eagerly anticipated Narrow Water Bridge.

The South Down MP is working to ensure his constituency is positioned to seize the full potential of the project once completed.

“The Shared Island Fund is a positive initiative, supporting our communities to thrive and strengthening the flourishing all-island economy. Today was a welcome opportunity to discuss how South Down can continue to grasp the enormous potential this fund brings.

“Narrow Water Bridge will be transformational for South Down, creating more jobs and boosting tourism, and it’s great to see the project progressing at pace and on schedule.

“To ensure we maximise this huge opportunity, it’s crucial local projects, complementary to the bridge, are supported and driven forward.

“By working together, we can transform not only the Carlingford Lough region but right up to the Mournes, through Newcastle, and into the heart of St Patrick’s Country between Downpatrick and Strangford Lough. Our local communities must fully benefit from the sustainable tourism and economic opportunities that will flow from the success of the Narrow Water Bridge.

“I will continue working to ensure the voices of people in South Down are heard where it matters.”
