Network with some of the companies and organisations moving Ireland's PPP projects forward

Nov. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- As stated in the report "Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-16: Medium Term Exchequer Framework" from the Irish Department of Expenditure and Reform published in 2011, "The PPP model has been used to deliver a major roads programme, schools and other education facilities and accommodation projects, Convention Centre Dublin, and the Criminal Courts Complex. PPPs will continue to have a role to play in the delivery of key social infrastructure projects to meet remaining deficits in particular additional Schools Bundles and projects in the Health Sector. The private funding market has, however, been particularly challenging for the past number of years." (http://per.gov.ie/wp-content/uploads/Infrastructure-and-Capital-Investment-2012-2016.pdf)
