N20 Cork to Limerick road upgrade an ‘immediate priority’

Improving the existing N20 Cork to Limerick road should be an “immediate priority” for government as part of a wider effort to improve transport links across the island of Ireland.

The project is highlighted as one of the most pressing transport needs in an all-island report compiled by business representative body Ibec and its Northern equivalent, the Confederation of British Industries (CBI).

The business groups said that investment is urgently needed to support exports, job creation, and business development in the wake of the Brexit vote and as the population of the island increases over the coming years.
