West Ireland’s Transport Push | Cork News

Galway, Shannon, and Limerick Chambers are united in a bold push for urgent transport upgrades across the west of Ireland—demanding faster roads, smarter rail, better buses, and upgraded regional airports to unlock jobs, housing, and global competitiveness. They’ve formally submitted their case ahead of the 2027 Budget, stressing that airport improvements must be paired with seamless connectivity via road and public transport. Key projects like the Shannon Airport Access Road and expanded bus services in Galway and Limerick are top priorities. Rail progress—including the Shannon Rail Link study and Western Rail Corridor—is also critical to creating a truly integrated western region. Sean Golden of Limerick Chamber calls this national infrastructure investment essential for economic growth and attracting investment. Beyond transport, chambers are advocating for business competitiveness, accelerated housing, revitalized Limerick city center, and development of the Shannon Estuary as an energy and industrial powerhouse.
