Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Policy and Budgetary Planning: Discussion

Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

We will express an IBEC view when we have engaged with our members. We have a clear position on the support of our members for the western rail corridor. There is a clear ambition at the moment for investment in rail and road and for making sure we are much more ambitious for effective and balanced regional development. At the moment, we are not sufficiently ambitious. That is our number one priority. If rail is going to be a solution to that, we will support it.
