'Serious concerns' for construction sector jobs
The Construction Industry Federation (CIF) has today expressed “serious concerns” for thousands of jobs following publication of the CSO Quarterly Production in Building and Construction Index.
Responding to the Index, Don O’Sullivan, director of tendering and contracting at the CIF, said: “The results from the CSO indicate that the fall off in construction activity is actually worse than thought and that we’re facing further significant job losses on the civil engineering and general contracting sides of the industry over the coming 12 months”.
