Irish Minister for Education Batt O’Keefe TD has said that up to 3,300 Irish construction jobs could be created in 2009 through the Government’s €900m schools building programme.
Up to €580m has been allocated for construction and upgrading of new primary and post-primary schools. Third level facilities have been allocated €265million.
Minister O Keefe surmises: “Some economic commentators work to the principle that every €255,000 of investment in construction activity is likely to generate a single job. Applying this theory to my capital programme should ensure that around 3,300 construction jobs will be secured this year.”
A number of schools are planned for construction in 2009 as part of the public-private partnership (PPP) programme.
