Nick Mulcahy

 The government has launched what it’s calling the largest National Development Plan ever delivered in the history of the state.

The €165 billion capital spending blueprint covers the period out to 2030.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said: “Since 2017 the percentage of Gross National Income committed to public infrastructure has risen from 2.5% to about 4.5%. That's now substantially higher than the EU average, and well ahead of our peers like The Netherlands and Denmark.

"This updated NDP will see this level of investment continue and grow to 5% of GNI, from €12.7bn this year to €19.3bn in 2030. We are investing in the future and going for growth."
