Chambers Ireland says “uncomfortable conversations” are happening within the chamber network about road projects, but that the business organisation was “trying to lead” in shaping decision-making.

Appearing before an Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action, director of policy and communications with Chambers Ireland Shane Conneely said it was advocating for better public and sustainable transport infrastructure, to provide people with an alternative to using cars.
