Newry could become a cross-Border commuter hub, adding 6,000 homes to ease Dublin’s housing crisis, with £107M in infrastructure investment and £1.5B in economic gains.
A new report proposes transforming Newry into a cross-Border commuter hub to ease Dublin’s housing crisis, suggesting 6,000 new homes over ten years with prices up to €150,000 lower than in nearby Irish towns.
The plan, inspired by models like Malmö-Copenhagen, highlights Newry’s proximity to Dublin and Belfast, with 45- to 75-minute commutes, and calls for a £107 million investment in wastewater infrastructure to unblock stalled projects.
It recommends rail and road upgrades, tax incentives in an anchor development zone, and expects up to £1.5 billion in economic benefits, with private capital financing most construction.
Cross-Border commuters would pay Irish income taxes while spending locally, boosting regional economies.
