A special focus was placed on the area’s connectivity to the island in terms of roads, rail, and air infrastructure.
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr Liam Blaney says now, more than ever, it is important that the North West City Region continues to be a platform for multi-jurisdictional co-operation in order to become a net contributor to local economies.
“Atlas for a City Region – Imagining the Post-Brexit Landscapes of the Irish Northwest” was also launched today.
The project, presented by Professor Gareth Doherty who was lead researcher and a native of Carndonagh, was borne out of the unique cross-border collaborative approach adopted by both Councils who are of the view that despite Brexit, their region has the potential to continue to grow and prosper.
