• The geographic scope mentioned in the source is broader than just Derry and Donegal - it covers the North West region including the border counties.
• PEACEPLUS is the most recent iteration of cross-border programs; previous PEACE programs ran from 1995 onwards. The claim conflates cumulative historical programs with the current PEACEPLUS program targets.
• The source is from January 2025, published before the session date of 2026-02-09.
