Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion
Mr. Tom Parlon:
It is elastic enough, if there is work here now. On the other hand, I am told that private projects are being stalled. Individuals are saying they are not going to do an extension at the moment because they do not know what it is going to cost or because it is going to cost €10,000 or €12,000 more than expected. That is allowing the workforce that might have been concentrating on that type of work to get involved in the larger scale housebuilding. It is a fluid situation but we are well fit to hit the 30,000 target without any big problems.
