Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Business Growth and Job Creation in Town and Village Centres: Discussion (Resumed)
3:05 pm
Mr. Alex Taylor:
Anecdotal evidence suggests the scheme is working. I reiterate what Mr. Copeland said about the skips. There was a time when we counted cranes, and when they came down we counted skips. The skips, in turn, disappeared, but now they are back. Moreover, wherever I see skips, I generally see a builder's sign with all the safety notices and so on, which tells us this is not a black market operator. That is very promising.
