28 Apr 2026

CIF has today, Tuesday 28th April, welcomed the inclusion of construction in the Fuel Subsidy Support Scheme as confirmed by Government.

Andrew Brownlee, CEO of the CIF, said: “The construction industry continues to feel the effects of global oil price shocks arising from the conflict involving Iran and its wider repercussions. These pressures are having a direct and significant impact on construction costs across the sector.

“The Government has now confirmed that the construction sector will be included in the Fuel Subsidy Support Scheme, which is currently being finalised. We welcome this important response to the significant cost pressures being experienced by construction companies across the country.”
