The Government is describing today as a significant day for the country, as details of the National Development Plan will be unveiled this afternoon.
Cabinet Ministers are meeting in Cork this morning to sign off on the €165 billion plan for capital investment.

Transport Minister Eamon Ryan says each project will be reviewed and assessed for climate impact.
The current leader of Fianna Fail Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said he expects the road projects committed to, will go ahead:
