I appreciate that, but this is not a shop being built in rural Ireland by a subcontractor for a company that has gone into liquidation. The State is paying for it. It will benefit from the work, while some of the subcontractors will go into liquidation or be left short by hundreds of thousands of euro. However, there is a solution. The company the State is asking to finish the works could employ the subcontractors to finish and certify their work. This is unique because it is a State project and the State is employing another contractor to complete and benefit from the work others have done.
