1.15 The ending of PEACE II3 and the outcome of the Review of Public Administration in Northern Ireland (RPA) are likely to have significant consequences for LSPs, particularly with regard to proposals for local government in Northern Ireland.
Recommendation: The future role of LSPs should be revisited following the outcome of the RPA.

3 The PEACE Programme has been extended for a further two years, 2004-2006. LSPs are expected to continue their role in administering measures under the extension until 2008.
