Labour Leader Ivana Bacik TD has called for urgent action following new findings from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, which reveal that Ireland’s infrastructure is lagging 25% behind that of other high-income European economies. Deputy Bacik pointed to this gap as a direct result of government inaction, emphasising that despite having ample resources, the government has failed to invest adequately in critical infrastructure, skills gaps, housing, and services to permanently alleviate the cost-of-living crisis.
