[Public Expenditure and Reform] IEA submission National Development Plan: All investment plans for sea and airports should make provision for landside infrastructure and facilities for the development of connectivity of the ports and airports with their hinterland.

[Public Expenditure and Reform] IEA submission National Development Plan: Encourage the further opening of nationally linked regional rail networks to enhance connectivity within regions and also with cities, ports and airports. The use of rail networks would also contribute to a greener supply chain, as a low carbon and potentially low-cost mode of transport for freight. Inter-modal connectivity will be key to this potential.

[Public Expenditure and Reform] IEA submission National Development Plan: Considering the complexities that Brexit has brought to trading, our position at the crossroads of trade and relations between the EU, US and the UK, we have an opportunity to develop Ireland as a centralised distribution hub for the EU. Setting up such hubs for onward distribution to the EU market, potentially in the South-East, is a strategic move and would contribute to seamless movements of intra-EU trade.

[Trade] Economic Impact Report for Dublin Airport (2019): the value of exports with well-connected countries is five to six times that of trade with poorly connected countries. How can these facts be brought more to the fore in Government’s decision making? (given we continue to lose connectivity due to the restrictions placed on international travel). How can they be used to encourage greater engagement within Government now on making plans for re-opening travel when the time is right?
