The Department of Finance, as part of the Government’s Construction 2020 programme, will host a conference/ networking event to promote awareness and access to the increasing levels of risk capital available for financing viable construction and development projects in Ireland.

The purpose of the event is to improve access to financing for construction and development, the industry needs to make a transition from mainly bank funding to the increased use of equity in financing construction activity.
