Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Priorities and Provisions in the Review of the National Development Plan: Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation (24 Sep 2025)

Seán Fleming: Somewhere along the line, will the Department of housing or public infrastructure put that figure out there? That is a very important investment. I stress to everybody watching that the €275 billion being invested over that period is the equivalent of €55,000 for every man, woman and child in Ireland. It is their money, and taxpayers' money, so we want to see good...

It does not care if there is no supply, once a small supply is of a high quality. Perhaps it is right in the long term. It is more interested in...
