MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive to produce a report on the number of construction sites and the number of workers employed week-by-week in the county currently contracted by SDCC.

REPLY:

There are currently 18 SDCC construction sites across the county. These are across Housing Construction (6), Economic Development (2), Roads and Active Travel (6), and Towns and Village Enhancement Projects (4). These do not include smaller sites that could be considered construction e.g. small roads and footpath maintenance schemes underway across the County. This changes regularly – for example a further 3 sites are going live in the coming weeks.

The number of persons employed on construction sites varies significantly from week to week depending on the stage of construction. SDCC does not hold records of this information under its contracts.
