Civil Service Cross-Border Cooperation

Bureaucratic responses to cross-border cooperation have not been overwhelming in the past (see Chapters 2 and 3). The Lemass-O’Neill talks were greeted with a mixed response by particular civil service departments and there was a perception that economic conflicts of interest existed in certain areas. Similarly, in the previous chapter, it was shown that business groups have responded positively to the incentives for cross-border cooperation, but that levels of cross-border trade were low and that Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland were competitors in some economic areas These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
