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.

This morning his party colleague, Fianna Fail TD, James Lawless, joined Clem Ryan on this morning's 'Kildare Today' discussing his new appointment to Chair of a special commission to "review the aims & objectives" of the party:
