Abstract

There are several ways of approaching the r61e of transport in a developing economy. Thus the internal problems of the industry may be concentrated on, or the more external role of transport in relation to the development of the rest of the economy may be emphasised. Alternatively, in relation to the rest of the economy transport may be regarded as a dynamic factor, leading general development, or as a more passive factor merely keeping pace with, or even retarding, economic development. Although it is hoped to cover these aspects of Irish inland transport later, the intention of this paper is to present initially only the broad factual data on inland transport, leaving more detailed analysis and conclusions to further studies. Canal traffi9 which is now of negligible importance will be excluded, as also will be bicycle traffic.
