On the area of skills shortages, my understanding is that coach drivers are not currently covered under the work permit scheme that is coming in through the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the RSA. If a driver from, say, South Africa wants to come here, that facility is not there for the industry. How big an issue for the organisation’s members is bringing in drivers from abroad?
