Now I know people will say developers and bankers have caused the problem in that sector but not fully the case. There is plenty of construction activities still needed to overcome our infrastructure deficit but the governement can't invest because of NAMA and banks not providing cash flow. There are plent of architects, engineers, and other construction professionals that have lost their jobs, who want to work in their area of expertise but have no option. As someone in that category I have spent 6 months looking for a job and jobs that are available I would have walked into 2 years ago. Now the employers can pick and choose.
