CIF warns construction jobs in mid-west could be halved

CONSTRUCTION chiefs have accused the Government of rowing back on promises for development in the mid-west, saying there will be “huge implications” for jobs and tourism.

The mid-west branch of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) said the Government is dismantling the National Development Plan (NDP) in the region.

The CIF said a number of significant infrastructure projects in the region are nearing completion and it believes it is difficult to see what projects will replace these.
