What are the priority projects for the north-west region to assist exporters there? Will the witnesses comment on the importance of Knock Airport for the region's connectivity and what should be done to enhance its capabilities? What are the exporters in that region saying about the investments they require to improve their access to markets? Has the Irish Exporters Association, IEA, engaged with the IDA and Enterprise Ireland on development in the regions, in particular the western region?

Has the IEA a view on the Chinese Belt and Road initiative and is there any scope for Ireland to engage in that investment in connectivity across Europe and Asia?
