Engineers Ireland report: Calls for State to double capital spending
Engineers Ireland describes the new Government’s capital plan’s spending target of 2% of GDP as “inadequate”; saying it needs to be raised to at least 4%.
At the launch of its “State of Ireland 2016” report, the engineering body said the Building on Recovery capital plan needs to deliver material progress in, what it describes as, “mission critical” areas like social housing, broadband, clean energy, schools, roads and flood defences.
