My next issue is construction inflation. This was built in at the outset of the contract. It worries me because construction inflation is significant for everything, from someone trying to build an extension to a home right up to master projects such as the national children's hospital. I am concerned that the next phase of the development could be the most costly when internal construction starts and everything from wiring to insulation begins. A lot of raw materials are in short supply at the moment.

I know anecdotally of a person in Clare who is trying to complete a home and who had to go up to Newry to get insulation boards. Are the developers confident that there is a sufficient volume of raw materials to see the building out?
