General Scheme of Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Dissolution) Bill 2014: Discussion

3:20 pm

Mr. Tony McDonnell:

As Ms Wilson said, there has been great activity in financial services and third level education on the part of the community trust. The Acting Chairman said construction can provide short-term jobs. If the 20% social clause was tied to planning permission, as Mr. Lambe said, while the jobs might be short-term for the apprenticeship part of their career, at least the young people learn their trade and they are accommodated for the rest of their lives.
