Unlocking Barriers to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Michael Kelleher:
There are about 190,000 working in the industry. The shift is the number of Irish-based companies now working abroad in Europe. They are working there because the work is there and the continuity is there.
If there was a pipeline here and if people could see it. If one looks at the AIB HPI index it shows the output in civil, structural and all those are all down in Ireland. That is the problem. They have moved abroad to England and beyond to grow the business.
