The Eu has set aside funds in the region of 36 million euro to train and re-educate the huge number of unemployed builders in the country. The Irish government is also set to add to this figure to further help the scheme. Although the scheme hasn't been approved by the EU Parliament yet a move like this can only be good news for the struggling Construction sector.
Tom Parlon who is the Director General of the Construction industry Federation in Ireland was quoted in the Irish Independent as saying "over 170,000 direct construction jobs have been lost since the crisis began". My own brothers being among the numbers, personally I think that this is a brilliant idea to try and shrink the amount of people queuing outside post offices around the country and getting employment and this country on the way up again.
