Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

IBEC Report on Infrastructure Ambition for a Competitive, Productive and Resilient Economy: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Gerard Brady:

There are particular areas, such as water, wastewater and the grid, where other projects cannot progress without those projects getting through first, which is a big area of concern for us. There are a lot of things that might get built on their merits, but the underpinning infrastructure and prioritisation of that will be critical in the coming years. If lots of towns throughout the country - there is rightly lots of focus on Dublin - are without that underpinning infrastructure, it will get increasingly difficult to deliver housing, in particular, but also industrial projects.
