      8,000 jobs for 8,000 people, contributing to economic activity.

      Be hard to find these 8000 seeing as we are currently at full employment

      But still, we should pay over the odds and bring em in from elsewhere to do it cause its needed.

      Government should have got the finger out years ago when the construction sector was quiet would have gotten/retained people in the industry.

      Now it will be pulling people away from building houses or they won’t get the staff and the project will be continuously delayed with the price going up

      Problem here is that with all the govt investment put into housing and infrastructure*, every worker in the country is already on a site.

      *Most of this is underground eg the grid, water etc. There’s so much new housing in Cork that parts of the county are at risk of brownouts.

      It’s like they keep releasing these to worry people but all the replies always say GOOD

      Grand. There’s 2000+ people finishing up on the Childrens Hospital.

      Just build it ffs.

      This is one of the reasons why normal economic theory says government should save surpluses and spend them in the down years. Right now economy is at full tilt, so to get 8,000 workers the govt will need to pay for many to be imported, and will have to pay a premium for them to afford housing etc etc, in an economy running full tilt.

      If there was a downturn, govt would be paying contractors who would otherwise be off jobs, who would work these projects rather than emigrate, and they’d both get the infrastructure cheaper overall and retain capacity for the economy in future.

      I’m not advocating pausing this project, just pointing out that this is why governments should save surpluses in general. If post 2008 we’d been in a position to preserve the construction sector, we’d have projects like metro already and the fellas who built it would be here, instead of in Canada, and available to build the next things. We’d be putting up more than 30,000 homes a year.

      Likely decently paid jobs too. Id be looking at upskilling. Plenty of support roles too.

      If they cant find 20,000 construction workers (I made this number up, it is probably a lot bigger) to build enough houses, where will they find 8,000 for this?

      I imagine many will be temporary migrant workers who are specialised in this kind of thing?

      But this ain’t a short project and that’s a lot of people to house in the capital.

      Not naysaying, just concerned that theyre going to ruck it up, given the State’s track record. Nobody seems to be joining all of these problems up into a holistic solution

      Honestly they could build 10000 houses and still sit there scratching their heads wondering how they’d fill so many. Absolute fucking muppets.
