The National Development Plan contains a commitment to establish a Construction Sector Working Group.  The purpose of the Group is to ensure regular and open dialogue between Government and the construction sector to support the successful delivery of the NDP on a value-for-money basis for the Exchequer.

It is vital that the Group’s remit is clear and speaks to the issues that require dialogue between Government and the sector. To that end, my Department is consulting potential members of the Group in advance of the first formal plenary, to seek their views on issues that might be appropriately addressed in this forum.  

Once this round of consultations is complete, I will set out a focused scope and work programme for the Group.
