Question for written answer  E-002305/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Kathleen Funchion (The Left)

Transport infrastructure connecting the South East of Ireland to Dublin is important for Ireland’s connectivity to Europe. Ireland’s National Development Plan specifically mentions increasing the capacity of the N11 national road and the M11 motorway, but to date there has been very little progress. Additionally, the train that is on this route has an average speed of just 56 km/h and the journey takes roughly three hours.

• 1.Has the Commission done an impact assessment on the lack of road and rail connectivity between the South East of Ireland and Dublin?
• 2.If not, does the Commission plan to carry out such an impact assessment?
• 3.Are there opportunities to integrate Rosslare port and the route between it and Dublin into EU transport corridors?
