Image: Eamonn Farrell/RollingNews.ie ONE OF THE promises used to ease the headache that goes with living near a huge construction project is the hope that it will bring opportunities to an area.
Among other aspects, the programme aims to ensure that some local people gain employment from the huge construction project. Jones Engineering is involved with the mechanical work on the project while Mercury Engineering looks after the electrical installations and BAM undertakes the major civil and structural construction.
So if we can take other people off the Live Register or whatever from that area, then that’s great. They may not work on the hospital job for the complete length of time, but they’ll be on the books working on other sites somewhere. Watson adds that one of the big advantages to linking up contractors on ongoing projects with local apprentices is that it cuts out the problem of commuting for young trainees. People who might not have the means to get to another part of the city.
