Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
The Role of Engineering in Delivering High-Quality Infrastructure: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Tim Murnane:
That is certainly happening at the moment. There is a major Dublin water plant that has been stalled subject to judicial review, which immediately means that the houses it would feed cannot be granted planning permission. They are just premature. That is happening. The only solution, really, is to invest, whether in transport locally, which may be a rail line, in water and wastewater, or in road infrastructure. That is part of the catch-up we have to do.
