I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I am not sure if they completely understand the extent of this problem and how it has put thousands of jobs at risk. One contractor directly employs 45 people and has 100 subcontractors. All of those jobs are lost to this economy never mind the personal circumstances that have been outlined previously. The witnesses stated that they empathise with the people affected. Empathy is not good enough because these people cannot go to the banks to pay their bills and do everything else that they need to do. These are family businesses that are now being run by a second or third generation. I do not think it is good enough for people to abdicate responsibility. This meeting has been convened because Members want to get to the crux of the matter and find a solution.

How was the new contractor, Woodvale, selected?
