Peadar Tóibín: Workforce planning is a means to ensure that we have the required essential skills. Ireland lost a significant number of people from the construction industry to countries like Australia and Canada during the last crash. We could do with some of these people back now. A campaign to try to bring some of those people home would benefit capital projects in a significant way. On the...

That has not...
