Five transport projects in Ireland have won European funding.
The EU will provide around €10 million towards future infrastructure upgrades.
The selected projects include:
- A study into upgrading the Dublin-Cork rail line, including the Limerick branch
- Cork Dockyard rejuvination (subject to an environmental impact assessment)
- A study into doubling railway tracks between Dublin Connolly and Malahide
- Funding towards the next stage of the N2 road upgrade in County Monhaghan
- Developing Roslarre Europort with a view to providing the port with infrastructure for offshore wind
The projects are all part of a network of routes identified as a priority by the Irish government and European Union.
Ireland is only receiving a small fraction of the €6.2 billion in new funding.
Most of the money is going to projects in eastern Europe, including €250 million to improve cross-border connections between Ukraine, Moldova and the EU.
