Update on Rebuilding Ireland: Statements

I just have one or two little points to make. On the construction side, one thing which worries me about local authorities, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and the Department of Education and Skills is the fact that they give contracts to the tenders which have the lowest price. The lowest tender sometimes goes into receivership because they set their price so low they cannot make a profit. We should make sure what we are looking for is built and that the man who builds it survives.
Overall, the Rebuilding Ireland plan is very progressive and is what is needed.
