South East Left Out in Critical Infrastructure Push | Waterford News

from Waterford News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The government just fast-tracked nine major infrastructure projects — including Dublin’s MetroLink and Cork rail upgrades — but shockingly left the entire South East region, including Waterford, off the list. While officials point to a half-billion euro regeneration push in Waterford’s North Quays as proof the area isn’t being ignored, local politicians argue this exclusion contradicts promises of balanced regional growth. Key projects like BusConnects — vital for housing, jobs, and climate goals — were notably snubbed, sparking anger from TDs and councillors demanding immediate reconsideration.
