€2bn investment - Delaying is not a virtue

The Cabinet decision to approve the €2bn stimulus package of investment in infrastructural development should be welcomed.

Surely, it makes more sense to be paying people to do constructive work rather than to be paying them to be unemployed.

The money will be raised from public-private partnership, the National Pensions Reserve Fund, and the European Investment Bank. It will be invested in road improvements and the go-ahead has been given for the postponed DIT campus at Grangegorman.
