The Ulster Canal project and upgrades to the N3 and N2 remain part of the Government's National Development Plan.

The same applies to the N3 Virginia bypass.

A Strategic Rail Review will also examine "all aspects of the inter-regional rail network".

This will include reflections on the "strategic potential of disused lines", such as the Navan-Kingscourt rail line.
