Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion
Gerry Horkan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
If a company tendered for a project and suddenly all its costs go up and it loses the ability to recoup those costs, the likelihood of it being able to continue to deliver that project is, effectively, gone. In terms of inflationary pressures, labour shortages and the costs of everything going up, has the Department worked out whether the increases are 20% or 30%? I know the Department is doing the analysis but are there any preliminary data for us to understand the pressures that exist?
