Mr Brian Hayes TD, Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, has passed a new Bill into the Dáil in order to protect small building subcontractors from exposure to non-payment.
According to Mr Hayes, “The purpose of the Bill is to help address the issue of non-payment to construction sector contractors, subcontractors and subsubcontractors who have completed work on construction projects. It is essential that we reduce subcontractors exposure to non-payment and ensure these issues can be dealt with in a more timely manner.”
