Danny McCoy, Ibec chief: Infrastructure is key to making Ireland Brexit-proof

Ireland is missing a “golden opportunity” to ramp up investment in infrastructure that could help make it “Brexit-proof”, according to the chief executive of business and employer association Ibec.

Danny McCoy was speaking to the Irish Examiner following his keynote address at the Trinity Global Business Forum, which focused on current disruptive forces in the business environment nationally and internationally.

Mr McCoy said it was still not fully appreciated how much the economy was strengthening at present and that a ramping up of infrastructure could take place but still stay within the fiscal rules.
