By Leila Steed08 January 2021
Non-essential construction in the Republic will halt from 6pm on Friday 8 January
All non-essential construction projects are to close during the Republic of Ireland’s new coronavirus lockdown, which is expected to last for at least three weeks.
From 6pm today (8 January), companies will only be allowed to carry out essential maintenance or emergency repairs to homes and businesses on a call-out basis. These include essential electrical, gas, oil, plumbing, glazing and roofing services to homes and businesses.
Only a few construction projects, such as those for critical transport and utility infrastructure, are exempt from the restrictions. These include essential health, education and social housing projects, and large construction projects in the export/FDI (foreign direct investment) sector, which must fit set criteria.
