Budget 2024: Infrastructure outlook
The main enabler is housing, as an influx of new skills means more people who need homes, both to rent and to own. All efforts need to be focused on delivering new housing stock at pace, this in turn will support all other capital projects.
The pipeline is ambitious, with career long projects for a range of skills, lots of opportunity for future graduates, returning experienced professionals and skilled individuals from other countries.
Productivity and sustainability (in design, construction and in use) are two of the main barriers in the housing sector. MMC and digital technology in design need to be incentivised to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and attractiveness of the industry.
Green procurement measures, circular economy targets in design, and a consolidated approach to MMC across the supply chain, are all areas that need to be at the forefront of housing delivery from 2024 onwards.
Investment, while welcome, is nothing without delivery. Ireland needs skills, incentives and a change of pace today to have the infrastructure ready in time to meet the needs of the future.
