It has been particularly active in markets outside Northern Ireland and I am aware that gritstone from our local quarries is in high demand – being used in road projects from Hong Kong to Rotterdam.

QPANI has particularly strong links with the Department for Infrastructure, particularly on the Roads side which accounts for a large proportion of the work of member companies.

The practice of sub-economic tendering remains a real concern for Government and the construction industry. Following consultation with the Construction Industry

The crop of college annuals for 1888 has been not alone a prolific one but luxuriant in growth. We note a somewhat annoying tendency in certain of them to follow the beaten track, such that if one but change the date on the cover and title-page and the names of classmen, this year's publication will appear a repetition of the last. While it is not to be expected that any great bursts of originality will break forth and much of stock witticism and illustration is the sine qua non, yet we have this year some interesting features which, if not entirely novel, are certainly refreshingly new in college annual enterprises.
