      Can’t wait for the incoming comments about how all of this is government handing contracts to their mates.

      Like many I hope they do manage to spend this amount and obtain significant infrastructural improvements .

      However little of this will be delivered.

      This country needs an infrastructure vision desperately. I don’t care who delivers it as long as there’s no fascism involved and it gets done.

      20 billion in the next 5 to 10 years and 10billion in investments ?

      Unclear from the article where the other 170 billion is coming from?

      So, a few toll roads and they might get halfway through the planning stage of that nonsensical water pipeline from the Shannon to Dublin.

      Let’s see how much is planned to be actually spent outside of Dublin…

      We could have a brand new direct rail line between Cork and Waterford (with stations in Tramore, Dungarvan, Youghal, and Midleton).

      We could have upgraded direct rail lines between Cork and Limerick, and Limerick and Waterford.

      We could have upgraded roads between Limerick, Cork, and Waterford.

      We could have Luas lines for Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Galway.

      We could reopen the Western Rail Corridor.

      We could strengthen rail links from Galway.

      But chances are this plan will just further centralise everything in Dublin, which is already over capacity.

      Reopen some closed train lines at least lads. It’s not that hard.

      Should be just enough for bike shelters for the main cities.

    9. Satur9es on

      There will be nothing delivered because their worst fear is somebody else getting the credit.

    10. CthulhusSoreTentacle on

      We’re going to get one hell of a bike shelter.

      For background, the entire National Development Plan and all projects [is available here](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7682860c80d64a62b90e8a1ca3d16364). It’s broken out visually and contains the details of the projects, status, completion dates, etc.

      The original NDP was from 2025-2030, with a rough spending plan of €95bn during that period, covering the grid, water, healthcare, rail, roads, housing, sewerage, etc.

      The extended 2025-2035 plan is now for around €200bn.

      200bn? So another children’s hospital on the way? Will it be enough?

      I hate when the headline is the amount of money, and it so often is. They hate to commit to a goal and a timeframe and so many politicians when asked why health or transport is so badly managed they love to trot out “We spent X billion on that thing.” Yeah you’ve proven you can spend money. Run an actual service well. That’s the actual thing we need.

    14. shadyspecks on

      >Chambers said that of the additional €30bn, ten is being set aside for “specific strategic investment”, and that the money will be “ring fenced for our grid, our water infrastructure and also the necessity to provide that medium to long term funding for the metro project, as an example.” 

      Irish water are looking for €2B

      Hopefully Metrolink and Cork Luas get the go ahead – both badly needed transport projects, and will open up new areas for housing. M20 also badly needed. Whilst these costs can be covered over multiple budgets and using PPP schemes, hoping they can get these started.

      Interesting to see where they go with the grid – offshore wind, storage etc.

    15. Spoiler: it all the same stuff they’ve been promising to build for the past 15 years but now it’s twice as expensive
