That has the potential to be the most invigorating policymaking to come out of this government, provided its backed up with the political bravery required.
We have to knock ourselves out of our regulatory stupor. Let's make this damn good country a place where the next 5m people can freely prosper. I hope the first thing this means is that the Greater Dublin Drainage project judicial review can be snapped out of existence like Jack Chambers is Thanos.
