Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and local Dublin Central TD, Paschal Donohoe, said: "This event is open to all enterprises associated with a project of this scale and is designed to provide information about the next phase of development – the €200m Central and East Quads. It will allow potential sub suppliers to meet the three consortia - BAM PPP; Eurigena Group and Kajima Infrared that have been shortlisted to progress to the next stage of development and to get the advice and support they need to help them succeed in winning the contracts that are on offer.
"A 'Local Labour' charter has been put in place for Grangegorman DIT, which commits contractors to recruiting up to 20% of all new employees through the Area Network Skills Register. This provides massive opportunities for local tradespeople in the area; from painters to block-layers, cleaning contractors, metal workers, scaffolders and sign suppliers."
