>The reason why the NPF restricts the growth of Dublin and its environs is because planners believe that by restricting Dublin’s growth, that growth will go to the rest of the country. In short, the NPF restricts growth to achieve what it calls ‘regional balance’.

I grew up in Birmingham where a similar policy was in force in the 60s and 70s (as mentioned in the article). It permanently damaged the city to the extent that it is only just recovering

Behold the earthscraper! Check mate Dublin City council
My dramatic and off the top of my head solution is to create low tax zones, a variation on Shannon Free for the regional cities, Sligo, Athlone and Drogheda.
Make not being in Dublin financially advantageous for a fixed period of 15 years (2040) to *a maximum value* which could be calculated as a multiple of the cost difference between say Waterford and Dublin for building costs, rents, rates, salaries, with zero VAT on top.
