Chamber calls for expansion of PPPs

IRELAND'S infrastructural deficit has weakened its competitiveness and businesses are concerned that the poor exchequer finances will lead to investment cuts.

This is according to Dublin Chamber of Commerce which said in its pre-budget submission to the Department of Finance that the Government should aim to expand use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in these tighter times.

It said there are people all around Ireland looking for secure investments, similar to SSIAs.
