Abstract
Ireland’s National Development Plan 2000-2006 includes a significant programme of public—private partnerships (PPPs). The Irish Government’s policy on PPPs has been shaped to ensure that capital investments under PPP are not included when calculating key fiscal aggregates. This article traces the origins of Ireland’s PPP programme and outlines the extent of PPP activity to date. It details how the PPP programme has failed to make an impact in terms of addressing Ireland’s infrastructure deficit and examines three particular cases where the PPP model has been applied.
