May I assume, given the link made between the proposed capital projects and the creation of 45,000 jobs, that contracts valued at more than €1 million will include a social clause, meaning the Government will seek to have people who are unemployed taken off the live register to work on them? From where does the figure of 45,000 jobs come? Will these jobs be in Ireland for Irish people paying Irish taxes and will the companies involved pay taxes here?
