Expert Knowledge on Infrastructural Strategic Policy Delivery
Aengus Consulting Ltd (ACL) is a strategic engineering consultancy founded in 2020 by P J Rudden who is also working on a contract basis for the Department for Public Expenditure NDP Delivery and Reform where he is Chair of the Construction Innovation and Digital Adoption Subgroup since September 2020.
Ireland has a current population of some 5.3 million people and is still growing as a small open knowledge economy. It continues to perform well, with continued output growth, low unemployment, inflation effectively managed and the Government maintaining a budget surplus. The factors underpinning this success include a highly educated workforce, our ability to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and strong growth in tech and pharma. On the domestic front, Ireland’s infrastructure deficit poses a threat to sustained growth. An urgent imperative is the delivery of the highly ambitious National Development Plan (NDP) 2021 to 2300 coupled with an equally ambitious Climate Action Plan 2024 to reduce our carbon emissions by 50% by 2030.
Aengus Consulting Ltd provides expert knowledge on strategic development, underscored by decades of respectful stakeholder engagement experience to ensure prompt and effective results.
P J is an External Member of the Project Ireland 2040 Delivery Board, the body responsible for the delivery of the National Development Plan 2021 – 2030 to provide the detailed infrastructure across planning, housing, transport, water and renewable energy. This Board is chaired at Government level by Mr Jack Chambers, Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
