I know but then there are local builders and so on in terms of the local economies.

The IMF recommended that Ireland reduced its reliance on PPP contracts but the number has remained the same or been ramped up.

The IMF recommended to the Minister that he restrict the areas where the contracts were to be used, traditionally, in social areas like healthcare, housing and education but the opposite has happened. Why has the Minister chosen to ignore those recommendations and increase the use of PPPs instead?
