Mott MacDonald will provide multidisciplinary advisory and design expertise to support projects within Iarnród Éireann's capital investment programme.

The appointment builds on the consultancy's long-standing relationship with Ireland’s national railway operator and its involvement in a number of recent rail projects.

The new framework is expected to support the development and delivery of further rail projects as Ireland continues to invest in its rail infrastructure, with the programme aimed at improving connectivity and supporting communities across the country.
