Govt set to sign off on €100 billion revised National Development Plan
The blueprint for infrastructure spending will be announced tomorrow along with the Summer Economic Statement.
Housing, transport, energy and water services will be funded from the new National Development Plan.
Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers has said it will amount to €100 billion from 2026 to 2030, along with the promise of another €100 billion for the following five years.
The aim is to address shortfalls in services and utilities while also shoring up Ireland's competitiveness.
Tánaiste Simon Harris has said the new plan will signal a stepchange in infrastructure investment.
Headline figures will be announced tomorrow with the allocations for departments and utilities set out.
But the full list of projects will not be confirmed for several months.
Mr Harris said: "I think it's important that people are aware that the backdrop against which the Summer Economic Statement will be published this year will be very very different from previous years.
"We are endeavouring to put together a set of economic projections at a time of huge global uncertainty.
"So, it is going to be necessary to be prudent in the figures we publish and to make decisions in the weeks and months ahead that have a real focus on protecting jobs and investment and keeping our country safe during what could be an economically turbulent period ahead."

The Irish Times view on national economic planning: strategy must be recession-proof
National economic planning always involves dealing with significant uncertainties. Ireland's economy has been upended on a number of occasions, requiring sharp changes in policy direction, most notably during the financial crisis which hit after 2008. So a key test of the revised National Development Plan due to be unveiled today will be its resilience. Inevitably a change in economic circumstances will mean that flexibility is needed in any plan, but are the broad goals of what will be outlined achievable, even if the economy is hit by some kind of slowdown, or even a downturn? Some lessons have been learned in the management of the public finances, with cash being put aside in two funds for the future and the annual figures being kept in surplus. That said, decisions have been made much easier by a big surge in corporation tax. And this has allowed the Government to increase day-to-day, or current, spending rapidly, alongside higher capital investment. To leave sufficent leeway, further growth in State capital investment has to be married with tighter control of current spending. Hints on the strategy here may be contained in the Summer Economic Statement, also due for release today. And in the years ahead more tax revenues are also going to be needed. The Irish tax base is increasingly reliant on potentially transient corporate tax receipts and on income tax paid by middle and higher earners. READ MORE The key immediate uncertainty in national planning comes, of course, from the new US policies on trade. Significant financial buffers are needed to deal with the potential fall-out here and its implications for growth and tax revenue in the short term. Ireland cannot go back to a situation where it is forced to slash State investment to balance the books, as happened after the financial crash. The State is still paying the cost of that today through massive deficiencies in housing and other infrastructure. Strong economic growth and high immigration have added to the pressures. Delivery is also vital, of course . Ireland's slow progress on major investment projects has cast doubts over economic growth prospects, potentially hampering investment. Dealing with this is a key social, as well as economic, priority. The outlook may be seriously affected by what happens between the EU and the US in trade talks over the coming weeks. Whatever transpires, it is fair to assume that significant uncertainty will remain for a prolonged period of time. And that this will raise questions about Ireland's economic model and how it needs to adjust. More investment in key infrastructure is a vital part of the answer. As we consider how this is to be paid for, we can only hope that the impact of Trump's trade policies, while certain to be serious, does not become hugely disruptive.

Tánaiste among 25 foreign ministers calling for Gaza ceasefire, as denial of aid deemed 'unacceptable'
THE TÁNAISTE HAS joined the foreign ministers of 24 countries in calling for an end to the war in Gaza, as they say the suffering of civilians 'has reached new depths'. They have condemned the 'drip feeding' of aid and the 'inhumane killing of civilians,' and urged Israel to comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law. In the letter released today, foreign ministers reiterated calls for the unconditional release of hostages being held by Hamas since 7 October, arguing that a ceasefire has the 'best hope' of bringing them home. Tánaiste Simon Harris signed the letter alongside the foreign ministers for Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Deaths of people waiting for handouts in huge crowds near food points in Gaza have become a regular occurrence, with the territory's authorities frequently blaming Israeli fire. Israel must immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and other organisations to do their life saving work safely and effectively. Hamas must release all hostages immediately. — Simon Harris TD (@SimonHarrisTD) July 21, 2025 The foreign ministers said today that Israel's aid delivery model is 'dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity'. Advertisement 'It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli Government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable,' the letter says. The ministers hit out at Israel's efforts to impose the E1 settlement plan announced by Israel which, if implemented, would divide a Palestinian state in two – 'a flagrant breach of international law'. They noted that settlement building across the West Bank including East Jerusalem has accelerated while settler violence against Palestinians has increased. 'Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a 'humanitarian city' are completely unacceptable. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law,' they said. 'We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.' Trade with Israel Meanwhile, the European Union this month agreed to work with the Netanyahu government to increase the level of aid in Gaza. However, European leaders couldn't agree on whether to put an end to trading with Israel. A third of Israel's imports come from the EU, valued at over €23bn annually, while Europe imports less than 1% of its goods from Israel. Suspending trade ties would require a unanimous decision, which is likely impossible as countries like Austria, Germany and Hungary, that tend to more supportive of Israel's government.

Foreign affairs ministers from 24 nations join Simon Harris in calling for end to war in Gaza
The tánaiste and foreign ministers from 24 nations have together called for an end to the war in Gaza. Simon Harris issued a statement along with his fellow ministers, which said "the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths". The ministers said the Israeli government's aid delivery model is "dangerous, fuels instability, and deprives Gazans of human dignity". "We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law. The statement goes on to condemn the "continued detention" of hostages taken at the beginning of the war in October 2023 and calls for "their immediate and unconditional release". It adds negotiated ceasefire "offers the best hope of bringing them home and ending the agony of their families". "We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and humanitarian NGOs to do their life-saving work safely and effectively. We call on all parties to protect civilians and uphold the obligations of international humanitarian law. Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a 'humanitarian city' are completely unacceptable. "Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law." The ministers said they would not support any forced displacement or changes to Palestinian borders and hit out at a settlement plan proposed by Israel. "We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The E1 settlement plan announced by Israel's Civil Administration, if implemented, would divide a Palestinian state in two, marking a flagrant breach of international law, and critically undermine the two-state solution. Meanwhile, settlement building across the West Bank including East Jerusalem has accelerated, while settler violence against Palestinians has soared. This must stop. "We urge the parties and the international community to unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end, through an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. Further bloodshed serves no purpose. We reaffirm our complete support to the efforts of the US, Qatar and Egypt to achieve this. "We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political pathway to security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region." Ministers from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK issued the joint statement.
