Quote:quote: yep, it's the law here, it's the only way to make it work. Voluntary licencing would not work, it has to have a legal standing.
But what of the status of site workers in Ireland? Do they have to be licenced?. Is it compulsory that the 'licenced' director has to be on site all the time? I just wonder what the system is worth when it doesn't cover everyone involved. I mean is it possible for an unlicenced person to start a contracting unit, employ totally unlicenced staff (apart from the one director), go into administration leaving the licenced director with a site he or she is obliged to write up to satisfy the licence condition, but no funding to do it with? Or is that just a nightmare scenario, that could never happen. Where are the controls on regulating the 'trade' as opposed to the individual?
