Helping to address Ireland’s infrastructure deficit

Ireland’s population is projected to increase by one million by 2040, which will require major infrastructural changes. New homes, jobs and amenities will be needed to meet both the basic needs and deliver a good quality of life for all. The Government’s Project Ireland 2040 is a strategic plan to build a resilient and sustainable future in anticipation of this increased population. This will include more environmentally sustainable measures, improved regional connectivity and additional cultural and social facilities. We are drawing on the breadth and depth of expertise from across our business, to support clients build a sustainable, equitable and resilient future, as we strive towards Project Ireland 2040.

This decade will prove crucial in ensuring we can deliver the type of future in which we as citizens want to live. Through creating accessible, affordable, high-quality services, we can tackle some of our biggest global challenges head on – climate crisis, economic crisis, health crisis, and social injustices. Shareholders recognise the changing societal expectations too, and increasingly demand investments that are equitable and deliver a positive social impact. Green investments and sustainable business practices are essential to address the climate crisis and meet consumers’ expectations.

We are working with clients across housing, health, justice, telecommunications and energy sectors (among others), to ensure the infrastructure being developed today, supports our future nation.

For example, our Financial Advisory team works with developers and State organisations to support the delivery of housing, addressing significant deficits in one of the most basic of human needs. Our Consulting and Financial Advisory teams work across the health sector to increase capacity and improve efficiency. Our Consulting team supports clients across the justice and security sector to improve services for citizens. Significant investments by our telecoms clients support rural Ireland, enabling remote working and enhancing regional connectivity to support Ireland’s ambition of equality of access for everyone irrespective of location.

Our multidisciplinary teams are supporting our energy sector clients to deliver significant investments that support Ireland’s green transition agenda including across grid, wind, solar and alternative energy sources. The country faces very significant, time-critical challenges to deliver on Ireland’s Climate Action agenda. We work with clients on a daily basis to measure impacts, devise strategies and deliver investments to decarbonise our economy across multiple sectors including energy, transport, and construction.
