Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Pre-Budget Engagement (Resumed)

Mr. Ciarán Nugent:

I am not sure any other sector sticks out. There are skill deficits in certain sectors that slow down potential growth. There was an issue with IT a couple of years ago that does not seem to be signalled as much now. This tightness in construction spills out into everything else and affects competitiveness in all other areas.
