An independent think tank on a mission to connect Ireland to proven policy solutions from around the world.
To solve Ireland’s most pressing problems, we must get better at building: homes, neighbourhoods, infrastructure, institutions and companies.
Europe needs to build, but procedure and cost get in the way. Targeted directive changes can address these issues without jeopardising environmental protection.
The housing shortage was caused by a hundred small decisions. Solving it means patiently fixing mistakes, one by one.
Ireland needs big ambitious housing schemes, but these schemes are hard to pull together. They involve local governments, infrastructure providers and lots of landowners. Land readjustment is a tool that aligns these groups on a single scheme.
Ireland’s great challenge is to build infrastructure. It should do what has worked before, in this country and across Europe. It should give TII the autonomy it needs to deliver.
Elite research agencies have implemented metascience to maximise innovation ROI. Taighde Éireann-Research Ireland’s (TERI’s) incorporation presents an opportunity to do the same.
Deliberately importing ideas has taken Ireland a long way. It should keep going.
