Seán Canney (IND), Galway East

I raise the issue of public works contracts, which have been in place since 2007. I acknowledge the Minister's efforts in introducing a variation to the contracts for the unreal price increases that have happened. However, I fear that if the contracts are not overhauled, we will have serious issues in trying to get contractors to do work for us. Are there any plans to reform them or introduce proper contracts?
