Ireland offers its expertise for B&R

Ireland can leverage its experience in construction services and project financing to facilitate the Belt and Road Initiative and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area infrastructure construction projects, the minister of state at the Department of Finance in Ireland, Michael D'Arcy, told China Daily in an interview.

"Irish skill sets are very rich, with strong knowledge bases. We believe these can be tapped to render assistance," D' Arcy told China Daily.

The country has cultivated domestic construction skill sets, particularly in civil engineering and structured engineering, as well as architectural and quantitative surveying services, and this should help to facilitate the vast infrastructure projects, he said.
