CIF: New contracts to push up price of construction

Construction Industry Federation (CIF) president Hank Fogarty today warned that new public sector construction contracts will push up the price of building public infrastructure in Ireland, damaging small and medium contracting companies.

Fogarty further criticised Government for “ignoring the industry view on the changes” and for “abandoning the principle of partnership that is the hallmark of successful construction contracts throughout the rest of the world”.
