Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said that about €19m has been committed by the Government for Altnagelvin Area Hospital in Derry.
Enda Kenny said a recent statement by Northern Ireland's Health Minister Edwin Poots, that Altnagelvin would have a radiotherapy unit, had now been sealed by the commitment of Government funds to the hospital.
Mr Kenny said the unit was not just for Derry but for the entire northwest, as 30% of those who attend the hospital are from Co Donegal.
He also said another €3m had been allocated this year for reconciliation and anti-sectarianism funds.
So far this year, €2.1m had been allocated to 80 groups in Northern Ireland, many of whom are working with youth groups.
