The Northern and Western Regional Assembly (NWRA) is urging the government to fast-track the delivery of 13 major infrastructure projects in the Northern and Western Region of Ireland after a new study from the Assembly found that the region is now on par with the least well-off areas of Europe in terms of infrastructure.
The “Regional Infrastructure Tracker” found that investment in areas such as transport, education, housing and energy infrastructure in the Northern and Western Region is below that of its counterparts in Ireland, with the region’s transport infrastructure ranked the 218th out of 234 NUTS 2 Regions examined in the European Commission’s Regional Competitiveness Index.
