The Government’s new infrastructure action plan will either be a “springboard for delivery or the gravestone for Ireland’s ambitions”, a representative body for engineers has said.

The Association of Consulting Engineers Ireland (ACEI) said both a collection of short- and long-term measures to increase infrastructure delivery have been promised, with a requirement for future Government’s to commit to the new plan.
