A new advertising campaign will aim to encourage Irish construction workers living abroad to return home to help with the housing crisis.
"Ireland needs you to come home, Ireland needs you to help us build homes and there are jobs here – well-paid reliable jobs."
The plan includes a new outreach programme that will ask builders in cities like London, Sydney and New York what incentives they might need to move home to Ireland.Higher Education Minister Simon Harris has said analysis by his department suggests Ireland will need an extra 50,000 construction workers across all trades over the next decade to keep up with housing demand.
“So the purpose of this campaign is to spread the word to Irish people abroad that if you are working in construction, there are huge opportunities here in Ireland and to please consider coming home and helping out,” he said.
