Scandal-hit Gama shortlisted for roads projects

THE multinational construction firm accused of stealing millions from workers through underpayments is shortlisted to build two major roads projects for the National Roads Authority (NRA).

Turkish firm Gama is one of five construction firms being considered to design and build the N2 Monaghan bypass and the N11 Gorey bypass, the NRA has confirmed.

However, as Gama considers the contents of a Government report into allegations of worker abuse made by Socialist Party leader Joe Higgins in the Dáil, the company's entire future in Ireland may be in jeopardy.
