1. Introduction Project Ireland 2040 sets out the Government’s long-term strategy for developing Ireland’s infrastructure over the next twenty years complemented by an investment package of €116 billion in the years to 2027. In 2020 public investment will reach 4% of national income, a level which will be well above the EU average of 2.9%. This increased funding has been allocated for the construction and delivery of the full pipeline of public investment projects including those detailed in this document. These projects will be crucial for delivering the ten National Strategic Outcomes which have been identified in Project Ireland 2040.
1.1 Project Ireland 2040 By 2040, there will be an extra 1 million people Since the publication of the plan in 2018, the living in Ireland, bringing the total population to economic backdrop has remained positive in 5.7 million. Ireland. The economy is forecast to have grown by 5.5% in 2019, with unemployment levels Project Ireland 2040 aims to accommodate this down to 5.2%. growth in a balanced and sustainable way and put in the place the investment required to A core tenet of the Government’s strategy to enable prosperity. In the first year since its bring greater economic resilience is to address launch, Project Ireland 2040 has been infrastructure deficits and embed the capacity enhancing regional connectivity, supporting for the future growth of the Irish economy. This national competitiveness and improving will also aid the country in mitigating risks from environmental sustainability. issues such as Brexit and climate change. Without the required infrastructure, growth will be limited. Without proper planning, growth will be haphazard and uneven. Project Ireland 2040 therefore consists of the National Planning Framework which sets out a spatial strategy for Ireland, to accommodate in a sustainable and balanced fashion these significant demographic changes. Learning from past experience,Body Level One the National Planning Body Level Two Framework is backedBody upLevel by Three an infrastructure investment programmeBody, the Level National Four Body Level Five Development Plan. In short, the money follows the plan. That is what makes Project Ireland 2040 different and a significant innovation in Irish public policy.
