Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Issues Arising from Brexit: Retail NI and Retail Excellence Ireland

2:20 pm

Mr. Glyn Roberts:

There is a new transport hub in Belfast, which, I think, is in Dr. Alasdair McDonnell's constituency. That will be a big investment which will ensure that we get a better transport network for the whole of Northern Ireland. Likewise, there is a new transport hub in Derry. One could easily see how this idea of a one hour high-speed train between Belfast and Dublin would help all parts of the island. It is not difficult to work out how we do that.

On the point about the toll booths, I have enough difficulty in getting our car park machines in Northern Ireland to take the new £1 coin. We have our work cut out in respect of these issues. It shows the diverse number of issues we must deal with in the retail sector.
