North/south co-operation: Practical considerations and previous discussions

i27985

This document discusses the practicality of North/South cooperation proposals, specifically focusing on the administrative and operational challenges rather than the political aspects. It references past discussions following the Sunningdale Agreement, where senior officers from North/South Departments concluded that direct cooperation between relevant departments would be more efficient than establishing a central body with executive powers. The document highlights the potential administrative chaos, staffing issues, and accountability problems that could arise from a central body overseeing a mix of unrelated functions. It suggests that a more workable system would involve direct inter-departmental cooperation, with ministerial and parliamentary oversight, rather than creating new bodies with executive powers.
