Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:10 pm

Dr. Brian Hughes:

The Deputy made some interesting points. Professor Edward Walsh's Atlantic corridor is a hugely important opportunity for Ireland if we can get it right. Obviously, the first thing is the M20 or N20, the road from Cork to Limerick. That is an important aspect and would be high up on the priority list of infrastructure. Yes, we must utilise Shannon Airport. It is a marvellous asset. I have flown from there many times. Certainly, we must focus on concentrated infrastructure. People will ask about the regional airport at Carnmore in Galway and the linking of the motorway from Dublin to Galway for a two hour trip-----
