expertise and experience exists and to offering business opportunities to contractors and suppliers in Erris.<\/p><p>At peak construction over 1,400 people were employed on the Corrib project. Between 45% and 50% of this workforce was from the combined Kilcommon, Erris and Mayo communities. The percentage of local people employed has remained at or above the 50% mark. Where relevant expertise and experience exists, the Corrib Partners and the main contractors try to employ local staff.<\/p><p>Local contractors have benefitted hugely from the project \u2013 and have, in turn, contributed significantly to its progress and outstanding safety record to date. Shevlin Engineering, Lennon\u2019s Quarries, Barrett\u2019s Quarries, Carey Plant Hire, Belcross Limited, Hegarty Electrical, Artec Construction and Rossglen are all local companies that have worked on the project over several years.<\/p><p>They have gained safety and quality accreditations during their time on the project, putting them in a stronger position to compete for other projects, both in Ireland and further afield. The skills developed and experience gained by many local people, along with the experience built up by a varied group of local contractors, means that Erris itself is better placed to attract other industries and businesses to the area.<\/p><p>The local economy has benefitted in other ways too as a result of the Corrib project. At peak construction, up to 800 people were living in accommodation locally. Local suppliers are providing products and services to the project, while local restaurants and pubs are benefitting from a significant amount of activity at a time when many other rural areas are depressed. Local facilities and amenities are being availed of by the project and its staff.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e1b8e3 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3e1b8e3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dece1b0 elementor-nav-menu--dropdown-tablet elementor-nav-menu__text-align-aside elementor-nav-menu--toggle elementor-nav-menu--burger elementor-widget elementor-widget-nav-menu\" data-id=\"dece1b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;layout&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;submenu_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&lt;i class=\\&quot;fas fa-caret-down\\&quot;
