The Irish construction industry has recovered well from the Covid-19 pandemic.
38% of construction companies expect revenues to increase in 2022 – while only one in ten expect a decrease. Two fifths of companies are actively recruiting, rising to 85% of companies with over 100 employees. However, construction companies face three key issues.
1. Skills shortages are limiting the potential of the construction industry
2. There is a gap between government and industry on key construction policies
3. Short-term thinking is hindering tech ambitions
