Mr. Frank Curran:

It is a fluid situation at the moment and definitely needs to be examined. I agree with the Deputy in that regard. There is construction price inflation and allied to it are the material supply chain issues and the skills shortages in the wet trades, in particular, but for all skills within the construction industry. Another issue is the buoyant private sector construction at the moment, which is competing for the skills, resources and supply chains, etc.

I will ask Mr. Taaffe to come in on this if that is okay.
