Sir, – You faithfully quote the views of the Construction Industry Federation asserting that "83 per cent of its members endured an increase in labour costs last year" ("Builders predict 'significant' material hikes and problems in 2022", Business, January 17th). Conversely, you might have reported that building workers enjoyed an increase in wages last year! – Yours, etc,
PAUL SWEENEY,
Milltown,
