Major projects

Ireland's biggest construction and infrastructure projects, from the first filing

Ireland's largest construction and infrastructure projects: every consent application accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIAR) since 2017, across all consent regimes (An Coimisiún Pleanála, foreshore, roads, rail, waste). The major schemes, geocoded, with the applicant and the consent link.

The largest of these are consented directly by An Coimisiún Pleanála, the national planning body that replaced An Bord Pleanála.

2,033 projects tracked · updated weekly · page 24 of 41, projects 1,151 to 1,200

Updated weekly from the national EIA portal, so new schemes land here as the portal publishes them. Follow the strategic cases through the An Coimisiún Pleanála tracker and the infrastructure feed.
