Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Ms Mary Rose Burke:

We have mentioned some of them. They are all interconnected. It is energy generation, the grid, the transmission network, water, wastewater and transport infrastructure. In addition, while no new money was mentioned for the metro, €2 billion will come from the climate fund to start the enabling works. Each of these projects has been talked about for ten, 20 or 30 years. It is about moving forward to delivery on each of them. They are interconnected and no one stands on its own. All of these infrastructure projects, for example, water, wastewater and electricity, need to be progressed together.
