60 Corridor to the Mid West – good quality road and public transport connections between Dublin and Limerick (including access to Shannon Airport) and to the Shannon Estuary Ports. Corridors to the North West (x2) – good quality road and public transport connections between Dublin and Derry, Letterkenny and the North West and improved rail services between Dublin and Derry (via the Dublin-Belfast line). Corridors to the West (x3) – good quality road and public transport connections between Dublin, Galway, Mayo and Sligo. Corridors to the South East (x2) – good quality road and public transport connections between Dublin and the South East, including Waterford City as gateway for the region. Linking Corridors Western Corridor – providing for improved road and Dublin transport connections between gateways and hubs from Cork to Derry (via Limerick, Galway and Sligo) and particularly between Cork and Galway (via Limerick). Southern and South Eastern International Access – providing international access by sea and air for gateways and hubs and other areas along the western arc. This includes utilising Shannon Airport, Cork Airport, the Shannon Estuary, Southern and South Eastern Ports combined with good quality access to these ports and airports by appropriate road and public transport links. North Western International Access – providing road access internationally to and from gateways, hubs and other areas in the vicinity of the Border. Central Spine – linking the east/west radial transport corridors by road and bus-based public transport through the Midlands, on a north/south axis through Dundalk, Athlone/Mullingar/Tullamore, Portlaoise to Rosslare. This will offer more direct access to ports such as Drogheda, Belview and Rosslare. It will also enhance connections between gateways and different regions reducing the necessity for transit through Dublin (e.g. the journey by road from Belfast to Cork). It will also improve connections between urban centres in the Midlands and facilitate the combining of their strengths. Map 3 indicates how Ireland’s spatial structure, including the gateways and hubs, will be supported by the strategic transport framework. The gateways and hubs are located at strategic points in the transportation framework. In addition to that, Portlaoise is located near the intersection of the Dublin-Cork/Limerick (N7/N8) roads, the crosscountry Mayo/Athlone/Rosslare (N80) road and three strategic rail corridors. This suggests a role for Portlaoise as a key national transport node with the capacity to develop related economic and logistics activities. Wexford also occupies a strategic location where transport corridors from various parts of the country converge on the short sea crossing to the UK as well as to links by sea to the continent. This suggests a role for Wexford as a key national transport node with related supporting activities. The implications of the strategic transport framework for the different transport modes are Roads network – Implementation of the road investment programme under the NDP is a key element in enhancing regional accessibility and thereby underpinning better regional development – Achieving more spatially balanced patterns of development suggests that improved interaction between the gateways will be required, through enhanced road links between particular cities and towns, with a primary initial focus on Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford – Regional roads will play a key role in linking the main national transport corridors to wider rural areas and smaller towns and villages within these areas and will need to be supported in this role – Improvement will be needed in the quality of connections between cities and towns which are developing as linkedcentre gateways or development hubs The National Spatial Strategy | People, Places and Potential
