DUBLIN—A Canadian construction industry delegation arrived this week in Ireland on a hunt for up to 80,000 qualified workers desperately needed for British Columbia’s booming building sites.

An 11-man delegation from the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) promised “a world of opportunities” to Irish construction workers, according to a report in The Irish Times.
