Calls for UK road tunnel link

A survey of business people has shown high levels of dissatisfaction with Government investment in transport.

The results of the study by the Chambers of Commerce of Ireland show that four out of ten were dissatisfied with investment in national roads.

The report also says Ministers should plan for a tunnel from Tuskar, Co Wexford, to Wales, linking Ireland to mainland Europe by road.

The survey of 600 business people conducted by MORI Ireland showed almost one third were unhappy with investment in ports. More than half were dissatisfied with investment in passenger and freight rail services. Some 47% are unhappy with Government investment in airports.
