In terms of infrastructure, the A1, which goes through the District and links seamlessly to the Republic of Ireland’s M1 at the border, provides high-quality road access, meaning that both Dublin and Belfast are only one hour away. The District offers proximity to two major airports, a deep-water port, a motorway hub and fast train links, opening up transport routes throughout Ireland and to mainland UK.
