Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion

Ms Ethna Brogan:

That is taking place at present. The supply chain difficulties have been present for some time, but the inflationary pressures have presented and have ramped up in the last couple of months, particularly since the events in Ukraine started to unfold. If costs continue to rise, there is a risk that we are not going to be able to deliver to the extent that we thought we might. I will not make a reference to any particular projects. As the Senator knows, TII and the local authorities are the contracting bodies. The Department does not contract for any of these projects.
