Dr Sean Barrett of the Economics Department of Trinity College, writing in the Economic and Social Research Institute’s winter economic commentary, also described the €34.4 billion transport plan as “seriously flawed”.

This document fails on several counts, not least on the grounds that individual projects are not costed — making it impossible for an objective analysis of each project to be made.
