About

Responsible for managing and improving Ireland’s national road and light rail networks, TII was created in 2015 after the Roads Act 2015 provided for the merger of the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) into the National Roads Authority. Since TII’s formation, Edel McCormack has been the head of governance and legal. In fact, McCormack was property lawyer at the RPA for two and a half years before the merger and that NII chose to retain her services demonstrates the high level of trust and confidence they have in her proven legal skills. Features of McCormack’s time at RPA include entering into agreements in order to secure the provision of railway infrastructure and the acquisition and development of land adjacent to railway works. Before working in the public sector, McCormack was an executive education programme manager at University College Dublin Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School between 2011 and 2012. Her professional legal career started in 1997 at O’Donnel Solicitors, a law firm she remained at for nine years, and she has had further spells in private practice at firms such as Ralph McMahon Solicitors and Access Legal.
