Survey: Tackling bottlenecks would boost trade activity

IMPROVING bottlenecks at key locations such as the Jack Lynch tunnel in Cork would result in a major boost to business and trade.

This is one of the findings of a survey conducted among freight transport operators and exporters, contained in a report launched yesterday by InterTradeIreland and the IBCE/CBI Joint Business Council.

The report found a pressing need to improve local access routes adjacent to a number of the country’s ports and airports.
