From ACEI's perspective, Graeme Tinney's insights on the legal and contractual barriers within Ireland’s National Development Plan are crucial. We fully support the call for a shift away from joint and several liability to unlock the construction sector’s full potential. Collaborative efforts in risk management will pave the way for achieving our ambitious infrastructure targets. Thank you, Graeme Tinney, for highlighting this important issue. #RiskManagement #ACEI #ConstructionSector #InfrastructureDevelopment
