20 2.1.2 North-South Relations The establishment of the North/South Ministerial Council, the six North/South Implementation Bodies and the identification of areas of co-operation provided an opportunity for North/South economic activity to realise its full potential and for the mutual benefits of strategic co-operation to be fully explored for the first time. Both the Regional Development Strategy for Northern Ireland 2025, Shaping Our Future, and the NSS provide planning frameworks that enhance the potential for such joint strategic co-operation. A report on enhancing competitiveness in the all-Island economy, commissioned by the North/South Ministerial Council, highlighted the challenges, including long-standing regional imbalances and disadvantaged border regions, facing both economies. The report advocated strategic economic co-operation to take advantage of economies of scale and facilitate the adoption of co-ordinated approaches to capital and infrastructure investment. Trade between the two economies has grown significantly in recent years. However, there are barriers that need to be addressed including • greater regulatory harmonisation • exploiting of potential synergies in education and training provision and in research and development • improving the existing knowledge base in order to facilitate the development of appropriate policy initiatives, and • monitoring and evaluation of existing policy. Labour mobility is one of the keys to economic development both in Ireland and at European level. The North/South Ministerial Council Study of Obstacles to Cross-Border Mobility on the Island of Ireland identified four main categories of barriers - regulatory, administrative, infrastructure and information. The advancement of this labour mobility agenda is an example of the range of possibilities for future North/South economic co-operation. The institutional arrangements provided for in the Good Friday Agreement provide a framework for enhanced cooperation on the island of Ireland to the mutual advantage of both North and South. The key areas where such cooperation can be of most benefit are being identified. The challenge for the future is to harness the potential synergies and to work together to overcome the barriers to fulfilling our social and economic potential. Co-operation and co-ordination of spatial strategies North and South will be pregressed as far as possible having regard to the prevailing circumstances. 2.2 Key Development Trends Within Ireland To identify a basis for future spatial policy in Ireland, it is useful to understand how Ireland’s economic and spatial development patterns have been evolving over the past ten to fifteen years and how these patterns are likely to evolve in the future, unless good spatial policies are adopted. Extensive research was carried out for this purpose. The relevant reports may be found at www.irishspatialstrategy.ie. This section presents a brief overview of development trends and the reasons behind them. The island of Ireland is relatively small in European and world terms. Since accession to the European Union in 1973, the Irish economy has become highly integrated into European and global markets, with profound impacts on national development and economic progress. The island has an overall population of 5.6 million, of which 3.9 3 million live in the State. The State is characterised spatially by a relatively dispersed population with about 58% living in urban areas with a population of more than 1,500, and about 42% living in rural areas (based on 1996 census). Dublin City and suburbs 4 (2002 population estimated at between 1 and 1.1 million) is very much larger in population than any other city in the State. 3 2002 Census Preliminary Report 4 This refers to the census enumeration area, which includes Tallaght, Lucan, Clondalkin and Blanchardstown but not Swords, Portmarnock, Malahide or Bray.
