Engineers urge Government to go green with infrastructure plan

Engineers Ireland has urged the Government to prioritise environmental and digital-friendly infrastructure projects in the upcoming National Development Plan.
The Government has been urged to prioritise spending on greener and more digitally focused infrastructure projects as part of the National Development Plan (NDP), which will signpost Ireland’s progress for the next 20 years.
Engineers Ireland said the NDP could act as Ireland’s green new deal, driven by increased spending on offshore wind development, retrofitting of buildings, and an overhaul of transport and water treatment facilities.
