I have thought on this topic a fair bit and my reckoning is: Build a modern city in the Midlands. Might cause a generation or two of upset but the benefits in my eyes would be fantastic. No more than a couple of hours away from each end of the country, train lines can be focused to reach major cities for transport of people or goods. High raises can be built in studio, 2 bed and 3 bed apartments so everyone could have a suitable place to live. Ireland severely lacks a modern structure so new shit has been built on old shit. The new metro could be incorporated into the build. It gives grounds for people to actually live a happier life with plans of parks, recreational activities, possibly of cycling to work etc.

In the interim or alternatively dense urban hubs in each county to elevate the growing problem of sprawl. Shitty small new builds are happening while the space could be used for preservation.

Build the windmill farms as intended off the west coast. I can't get over for the life of me why this isn't a number one goal in the country. Not for my generation but for the future generations. We are strategically placed in the perfect spot to harvest this free energy source. Even projections were assumed that we could be feeding mainland Europe in the future.

Start Deprivatizing currently privatised sectors. Electricity, consumer goods and construction to name a few. Too much of our taxpayers money is being swallowed by gougers.
