Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Finance and Economics: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

I see a big opportunity for that in terms of an all-island engagement and a real purpose for social dialogue on an all-island basis. We think the world of work has changed since Covid. It is nothing compared to what we are about to embark on and the scale of disruption we will face.

On the investment priorities, we are big supporters of rail, as Mr. D'Arcy has said. We have not finished an all-island road structure that is in any way effective in terms of the movement of people, workers or goods across the island. Decarbonisation is the one area in which we see very significant shortfall in terms of what is already in the investment plans.
