    Is it likely that building work restrictions will be eased at all in the coming weeks?

    Had to temporarily move out of house in order to have necessary home adaptation works carried out to accommodate a disability.

    Left in rented accommodation and also paying mortgage. Have verbal permission from Garda for builder to resume works but builder is unable to get the materials from builders merchants. No one will put anything in writing confirming permission.

    my best guess is they'll open tues 5 may - im getting extension done and that's when im assuming builder providers will re-open.

    The big suppliers will supply for essential works.
    The Grange for example.

    I'm in Sligo. The builder carrying out the works has made enquiries with Brooks/Heiton Buckleys etc but unless it's HSE job forget about it.

    I have few contractors doing work for me. Windows made and ready to go, are on factory floor but factory is shut...

    Factory may open next week to let these windows go out....Heard wholesalers are running low on stock...

    Hard to get stuff that's deemed not essential.

    Rogers are delivering, no?

    Makes no difference anymore. Have verbal authorization from Garda to proceed but main contractor cannot get his subbies to return until lockdown is lifted.
