37. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation his plans to reintroduce direct labour on building sites, particularly on Government funded projects and then roll out to private building contracts. [39262/14]

I have no plans to introduce legislation to require the use of direct labour in the construction sector, either in respect of Government funded projects or in respect of private building contracts.

As with all such processes, it is a matter for the parties to agree voluntarily between themselves the most appropriate manner in which a contract should be performed.
