Forfás compiles a report "Overview of Main Infrastructure Issues for Enterprise". The latest publication of this report was in May 2008.

This report acknowledged that significant progress had been made in addressing Ireland's infrastructure deficits, but also indicated that there were still a number of areas requiring continued investment to ensure the availability of cost competitive world class infrastructure. The main areas in which such action is required are telecoms, energy, waste, water and transport. Policy responsibility for these areas of infrastructure are a matter for my colleagues, the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources; the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government; and the Minister for Transport.
