A new fund set up by the Government this year is hoped to ensure the same “stop-start” mistake made with the metro rail project for the Dublin area will not happen again, a minister has said.

As part of Budget 2024, and using funds from windfall corporate taxes, two new funds were set up with the aim of future-proofing Ireland’s finances.
