Connecting Ireland

Connections keep the world moving Connecting Ireland is a major public transport initiative developed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in Ireland, with the aim of increasing connectivity, particularly for people living outside our major cities and towns. The plan aims to improve mobility in rural areas, and it will do this by providing better connections between villages and towns by linking these areas with an enhanced regional network connecting cities and regional centres nationwide.
