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:
It is. It is a big concern. I refer to the funds in which the Government has put money away and the money we have fortuitously come across in some cases in terms of the Apple judgment, for example. We might not have expected to get that money but we have it now. We have to be able to ring-fence that money for infrastructure because there is not a guarantee that we will continue to get the tax. I am not saying it will fall off a cliff, but there could be declines in future years and we will have to find a new way of funding it. The more we put away now of the money we are fortunate to have the more we will have in future to backstop-----
