Even if these projects are completed in 15 years time Dublin will still be way behind cities with similar populations like Vienna and Stockholm.

Monaghan, Armagh, Clones, Cavan, Omagh and Strabane could certainly do with a railway revival. There should also be lines to Donegal and the Dingle bay.

Most people are reluctant to pay the toll on the M3 from Dublin to Navan ever since it opened - the traffic through Dunshaughlin village at rush hour at 4pm is as bad as ever, which I saw for myself when visiting family there from Manchester U.K. in October 2022

If you think that's bad try the high speed rail link from London to Birmingham and the north. God knows how many billions it's running over budget and they keep cutting it back and changing the route. I think it's costing twice as much and half as long as it was planned. Britain should get the Chinese in they know how to build railways quickly although I'm not sure about quality

I note how many projects have no timeline and those that do will most probably never happen on time - I suggest you revisit and update this video 10 years from now (i.e. in 2033). We Irish are not the best at planning and even worse at turning plans into reality! Apart from that we're grand! 👍😉

I’ll believe it when I see it - we wasted so much EU funds on motorways that people won’t use because of tolls, yet we closed down so many railways in the 1960’s that we now find need to be rebuilt and we don’t even have any truly high-speed rail lines in Ireland, let alone the high speed rail tunnel link to Holyhead - we don’t even have DART or LUAS to the Irish Ferries/Stena Passenger Terminals in North Wall and we have poorly designed bridges that don’t raise to allow ferries to travel further upstream, nor has enough money been spent on widening and deepening the Liffey Channel to allow bigger ships to berth nearer the Custom House

All costs in this are imaginary as construction inflation is running above 10% a year and timelines aren’t available as the process takes so long. Also priority order gets rejigged by government periodically. The N24 project is listed incorrectly as in fact it will be more like 140 km.

Why so much road traffic projects in a country that definitely lack of a good railway network? more roads lead to more cars and to a chaos in the cities. It would be better to reactivate some disused rail links that most people won't need a car anymore for most of their journeys.

Over half the projects are rail projects. Most of the road projects will move intercity traffic off local roads, helping those communities immeasurably. If you’ve ever been on the N20 between Cork and Limerick, you’d have seen now the traffic divides towns now.

M20 is a waste. Purpose is to get traffic to Ringaskiddy and makes more sense to build M24 as it would join existing motorway network. This saves billions as there would be no need for North ring around Cork to get traffic from Blackpool to Dunkettle. M24 also opens up the Southeast to the West
