Construction firm urges public private partnership deals

One of the largest construction firms in Europe, Royal BAM, has called on the Government to provide a stimulus package to the sector by providing public private partnership contacts.

Such contracts famously helped to fuel infrastructure construction during the boom, with Royal BAM completing various projects in the transport, healthcare, educational, water and waste sectors.

Theo Cullinane, chief executive of BAM contractors in Ireland, has called on the Government to roll out the public private partnership projects in tandem with the Government’s ongoing austerity measures.
