Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Briefing by ICTU, HSA and CIF Representatives on the Reopening of the Construction Industry
Ms Patricia King:
I thank the Deputy for the question. It is a fact that the protocol is a living document. There is also provision in it for an oversight group under the labour employer economic forum, LEEF, process because we were the people who created the document in the first place. I expect that group will meet regularly, at least once a week and more often if required. That group should take on board all of the changes that will arise and evolve as the pandemic goes on and the economy reopens. I expect that group to be active to ensure this protocol, as a live document, can be adapted and altered to keep it in step with what is actually happening on the ground.
