We must maximise every opportunity to grow and develop our economy internationally and this event is a unique platform to highlight key transport projects like the A5, A6, York Street Interchange and the Derry and Belfast Transport Hubs.

    “This morning’s meetings with senior EU representatives have been very constructive and I will be having additional meetings with other key officials and stakeholders over the coming days.
