White Paper on Enterprise Policy
Intended results
For greater government action across a number of areas in enterprise opportunities. A particular focus on Infrastructure, Education and Housing.
From a Green Energy and Brexit perspective the commitment to Invest in Rosslare Europort is critical. With Rosslare being so well placed with direct connections to the UK, Spain, France and Belgium we have so many European connections coming into Rosslare the development of a major distribution infrastructure at Rosslare should be prioritised.
In relation to Mara, we need to see the establishment of the office in Wexford as soon as possible.
The completion of the M11/N25 motorway connection to Rosslare Europort and the investment in the third level campus in Wexford need to be prioritised. While the previous commitment has been made to invest and very welcome, it is vital to see these projects delivered in the shortest possible timeframe.
We need an accelerated Investment in housing in County Wexford, this has become a real issue for employers in a tight labour market as even when they do attract candidates to fill the positions ultimately it falls at the final hurdle as the candidates could find no place to live.
