I take it you're not around the Point/Docklands area then. Cranes everywhere

And yet the Irish Times "crane watch" reported a doubling in the number of cranes from this time last year. I think the latest figure was 68 cranes.

Jobs finish cranes come down.

Plenty were just rebuilds.

I read an article recently that said that only 9 companies were responsible for all the cranes in one of the recent crane watch surveys. The crane issue appears to be a complete distortion of where the market really is as the majority of the works been done are located in a very small section of Dublin for large international blue chips or vulture funds.

Where have all the cranes gone?
