Abstract

This document, the National Planning Framework, is a planning framework to guide development and investment over the coming years. It does not provide every detail for every part of the country; rather it empowers each region to lead in the planning and development of their communities, containing a set of national objectives and key principles from which more detailed and refined plans will follow. The companion to this document is the National Development Plan, a ten year strategy for public capital investment of almost €116 Billion. Their joint publication as Project Ireland 2040 is perhaps the most radical break with the past: aligning our investment strategy with our strategic planning documents to, for the first time in the history of our State, create a unified and coherent plan for the country.
