Martin to publish new report on north-south cooperation
The latest joint ESRI-Shared Island report, entitled 'Sharing the Island: Economic and Social Challenges and Opportunities', marks four years of collaboration.
In his keynote address in Dublin, it is expected that Mr Martin will point to the further €1 billion investment in the Shared Island Fund to 2035, and reflect on the strengthened ties between Ireland, the Northern Ireland Executive and the UK government.
There have been 15 previous reports, and the research has examined addressing child poverty and education outcomes.
It has led to pilot programmes, involving cooperation north and south, aimed at reducing inequality in education.
It's expected that Mr Martin will identify how it is possible to unlock more potential for all-island cooperation in areas such as skills, foreign direct investment and energy, with ongoing research feeding into policy.

Chambers warn Government to tackle critical infrastructure or face 'managed decline'
Failure to deliver critical infrastructure now threatens Ireland's future prosperity, the chief executive of Chambers Ireland has warned, urging the Government to act or risk 'a period of managed decline'. Ian Talbot was speaking at the launch of Chambers Ireland's pre-budget submission, reflecting the shared concerns and aspirations of affiliated Chambers of Commerce around the country. The submission stressed that while the housing crisis remains front and centre, it has overshadowed other fundamental service shortfalls particularly in energy, public transport, water, and wastewater treatment. Mr Talbot said the Government now needs to take decisive and long-term action to tackle these areas. 'Our economy continues to grow but our critical infrastructure has not kept pace with rapidly increasing demand,' he said. 'Few would have predicted today's economic strength during the challenges of the past 20 years and inadequate delivery now means the infrastructure gap threatens our continued prosperity. Bridging that gap is critical and if we fail to act then we risk entering a period of managed decline. 'The era of being able to tolerate delays caused by lengthy planning challenges, judicial reviews and other hurdles is over.' Chambers Ireland includes 36 affiliated chambers representing 10,000 business right across the country. Some of Chambers Ireland's key recommendations include: A commitment to multiannual funding in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. Continued investment in transport networks. Grid reinforcement and upgrades. Increased housing targets and investment, with a recommendation that Housing for All targets increase from 33,000 units per year to at least 60,000 units per year. Initiatives to stimulate modern methods of construction. Increased funding for port infrastructure. The introduction of a Strategic Capital Investment Scheme to support large scale, high growth projects across key sectors. Expansion and acceleration of non-domestic retrofitting supports. Further investment in childcare. "While the €1.37bn funding announced under Budget 2025 is a significant step forward, core funding should be increased and strategically allocated to address existing gaps in childcare accessibility and affordability," the report notes. Increased funding for apprenticeships. Facilitating SME engagement in international trade. Other recommendations include the roll-out of the single permit system for living and working in Ireland in advance of the 2027 deadline. It also calls for a portion of the National Training Fund surplus to deliver intensive language courses to people seeking international protection. The submission proposes the introduction of tax-incentivised investment schemes to channel household savings into more productive markets and opportunities that support infrastructure expansion and green energy projects. "Over €150bn in household savings remain in low-yield bank accounts, representing a missed opportunity for both savers and the wider economy. Redirecting even a portion of these funds into other productive markets could deliver stronger returns for individuals while providing much needed capital for essential infrastructure and generate increased tax revenues through improved returns and buoyancy," the report states. Mr Talbot drew attention to the State's competitiveness amid global uncertainty, driven by protectionist policies, tariffs and the mounting impact of climate change: 'The significant financial resources available to this Government mean there is a real opportunity to invest in core infrastructure and breathe new life into our towns and cities. This will help build a more sustainable economy and provide the certainty businesses need to stay competitive,' continued Mr Talbot. 'Our climate goals and energy security must also remain at the heart of the next Budget. The Sustainable Development Goals continue to guide the Chamber Network as we work to balance our economic ambition with environmental responsibility. "Economic growth and job creation is being constrained at a time of great opportunity to lead on sustainable growth and embrace new opportunities. We must now act with urgency.'

Government to unveil plan to invest €200bn in infrastructure
Plans to invest some €200 billion in Ireland's infrastructure over the next decade are set to be unveiled on Tuesday but Ministers will also be warned about the need to rein in current spending as preparations ramp up for this year's budget. The Government will seek to 'transform' Ireland's infrastructure over the next decade with housing , water, energy and transport prioritised for investment under the revised National Development Plan (NDP). Meanwhile, the summer economic statement (SES) – which will set out scale of the budget's likely tax and spending package in advance of talks with Ministers – is also set to be published on Tuesday. The updated NDP and preparations for this year's budget come against a backdrop of considerable economic uncertainty amid the ongoing threat of a trade war between the European Union and the United States. READ MORE The Irish Times understands that as part of the SES Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers will be reminding colleagues of the need to 'moderate' current spending. This has spiralled in recent years as governments responded to economic shocks including Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. With the one-off cost-of-living measures of recent years also not expected to feature in the forthcoming budget, Ministers are also expected to be told that there is a need to switch from short-term measures to targeted, sustainable and permanent measures to support households. A Government source said both Mr Chambers and Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe will highlight the threat of trade tariffs as part of the SES which will outline 'the need to enhance competitiveness by investing in critical capital infrastructure'. The Coalition leaders and senior Ministers met over the weekend and funding allocations in the NDP for most departments have been agreed. Negotiations were last night said to be ongoing in relation to spending on the key priority area of housing. Mr Chambers confirmed on Sunday that up to €30 billion in additional funding is set to be added to the NDP, up from a previously mooted sum of about €20 billion extra, bringing the overall sums to be spent over the next five years to almost €100 billion. He said the Government will also set out a trajectory for another €100 billion in investment over the following five years from 2030. Mr Chambers told RTÉ radio the extra €10 billion being set aside for use between now and 2030 is for 'specific strategic investment' including for improving the electricity grid, water infrastructure and Dublin's MetroLink rail project.

Budget to focus on long-term gains at cost of short-term pain
TDs and senators may well have departed Leinster House for the summer recess but Tuesday will see not one but two major political set pieces. The summer economic statement (SES) will set the stage for this year's budget and how much the Government is likely to splash out when it comes to spending and tax measures. The revised National Development Plan (NDP) will lay out the trajectory for perhaps the next 10 years – and as much as €200 billion – in investment in housing , hospitals, roads, rail and schools. All of this happening at a time of deep economic uncertainty caused by the prospect of a full-scale trade war over US president Donald Trump 's threats of punishing tariffs on goods from the European Union . READ MORE The messaging from Government Buildings has been clear for some time that the budget giveaways of recent years are a thing of the past. One-off cost-of-living measures are highly unlikely to feature when Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe and Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers take to their feet in the Dáil on budget day. As part of the SES, Cabinet colleagues are set to be put on notice too that they will have to rein in current spending, which has risen as part of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic and other economic shocks. As The Irish Times reported last week , increases in current spending of 8 to 9 per cent in recent years are expected to be reduced significantly, perhaps towards 5 per cent. This could have implications for budgetary questions such as the increase in welfare rates. The period leading up to budget day will see intense negotiations as Ministers seek to carve out the biggest possible slice of the pie for their departments amid constraints not present in recent years. They had practice in recent weeks as they made requests as part of the revision of the NDP. Departments where allocations were agreed over the weekend include transport – set to get increased funds generally and money earmarked for MetroLink – education and defence. Minister for Housing James Browne – who has been awaiting the NDP as he develops the Government's new housing plan – had big asks. These are not only in terms of funds to help meet housing targets, but also to cover investment in water services to pave the way for home building. There is also the need to fund financial assistance to people with homes affected by defective concrete blocks. NDP talks on housing were said by one source to have been 'heated', though Mr Chambers sought to play down any tensions during an interview on RTÉ radio on Sunday. Talks were said to be ongoing as of last night. There was no confirmation that allocations for health – where negotiations have also gone to the wire – have been agreed yet either. This week's NDP update will be more focused on the sums involved than specific infrastructure projects to be funded. Ministers are expected to outline specific programmes and investment as part of the budget. There is already pressure from the Opposition over the likely elimination of one-off cost-of-living measures, with Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald telling the Dáil last week that people 'desperately need' help. The Coalition may well learn if announcements of plans for spending large sums on yet-to-be-delivered infrastructure projects – albeit many of them badly needed – will make up for a lack of energy credits and double welfare payments on budget day in the eyes of the public.
