All-island freight forum inaugural meeting 29 Jan 2010
The inaugural meeting of the North/South Freight Forum took place on 29 January 2010 in Dublin Castle and was hosted jointly by Department for Regional Development (DRD) in Northern Ireland and Department of Transport (DoT) in the Republic of Ireland. Presentations were made by Departmental representatives, including DoT Secretary General Tom O'Mahony as well as a range of industry representatives, including JBC CEO Reg McCabe and Tom Wilson of the Freight Transport Association. Five key priority workstreams were identified. At the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) Transport Sectoral Meeting on 3rd March 2010, Ministers Conor Murphy and Noel Dempsey both commended this initial North/South Freight Forum meeting and asked that five North/South working groups be established to progress the agreed priority areas. The establishment of a Freight Forum was highlighted in the “Freight Transport Report for the Island of Ireland” which was published by the Joint Business Council and InterTradeIreland.
