Eamon Ryan: Remote working has potential to lift rural Ireland 

Eamon Ryan said that the likes of a high-speed railway link between Cork, Dublin, and Belfast should not come before regional rail development.

Investment in transport within regional cities and towns should be prioritised over motorways and high-speed railways linking them, according to Eamon Ryan, the transport minister.

“Remote working is full of real potential for us to revitalise rural Ireland, develop hubs and towns across the country, and really transform how the country works for the better," Mr Ryan said.
