Discussing Ireland’s Construction Skills Shortage and How Crewit Is Connecting Global Talent with Opportunity

We’re proud to share that our CEO Gary O’Keeffe was featured on RTÉ’s new documentary series Who’s Building Ireland?, which aired on the 17th of September 2025.

This episode takes a closer look at the challenges and opportunities facing Ireland’s construction industry today, from skills shortages and housing demands to the innovative solutions helping address them.

Speaking on the programme, Gary emphasised the essential role of international workers in sustaining Ireland’s construction sector:

“We can’t build Ireland without migrant labour, it’s impossible.” – Gary O’Keeffe, CEO Crewit Resourcing

At Crewit, this belief forms the foundation of everything we do. By connecting skilled international talent with Irish employers, we’re helping bridge the skills gap and support the delivery of vital housing and infrastructure projects nationwide.

Through ethical recruitment, workforce support and long-term placement solutions, our teams is ensuring the industry has people it needs to grow sustainably.

This feature marks another step forward in our mission to connect talent with opportunity and to be part of the national conversation about the future of construction in Ireland.
