One of the actions detailed in the Action Plan for Jobs 2012 was for Forfás to: ‘develop, in consultation with stakeholders, a national strategy for the construction sector to 2015 outlining the opportunities, challenges and actions needed to realise the potential of the sector, to retain expertise in Ireland and to continue to develop capabilities over coming years and to contribute to the development of a cluster development initiative for the sector’.
I understand that Forfás has largely completed its work and will shortly submit a proposed strategy document to me. Clearly, the issues facing the Construction sector are broad ranging and cross several Government Departments. I intend, therefore, to submit the Strategy document to Government for its consideration at an early date.
