Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Role of Private Sector Construction Industry in Delivering High-Quality National Infrastructure: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Sheridan:

The can-do attitude is employed every day in the private sector for billion euro projects, because there is a need and a focus to deliver. The important thing is that the action plan from the infrastructure division of the task force comes with a co-ordinated, central approach that pushes cultural change down through the system such that it is acceptable to take risks and make decisions.

The system in place at the moment has to shift. People have to feel confident that they can work with the industry and make decisions to solve problems.
