One of our former colleagues in the Seanad, Mr. Sean Barrett, a professional of the so-called "dismal science", was critical of our capital budget plan going into the future, given all the uncertainty with Brexit, Trump, trade wars, the possibility of instability and so on. There are many significant infrastructural gaps in public transport, health, housing above all and so forth. How does the IFAC line up on that? Is it happy with the projections for 2019 and onwards?
