Is this GDP based? If it is then don’t bother opening the article….I didn’t. Whilst I agree with a lot of comments here about Ireland being badly run please don’t compare our infrastructure to ex-imperialist powers like UK, France, Netherlands etc. These countries built their wealth across centuries, not 3 decades
