The new €165bn National Development Plan is a rehash of old transport targets, lacks ambition in addressing our climate targets and is "hopelessly vague", experts and the opposition claim.

The 10-year plan includes a €35bn investment package for the country's transport system, with €12bn for public transport, €6bn for roads and €4bn for walking and cycling infrastructure. It also includes more than 300,000 new homes by the end of 2030.
