Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion
Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
It is a very significant concern. We heard from TII. It is related to the former piece. It concerns the viability of existing and committed projects based on the type of contracts that were entered into in light of this emerging trend in inflation. What is the Department hearing or seeing with regard to that? Ms Brogan does not have to give specific examples but we have specific examples in terms of businesses that have had to fold. There is also a rumour mill that exists. We will hear from the industry later on. It will clearly tell us on the public record that it has serious concerns about the deliverability of existing projects. What is the Department hearing?
