BRIAN BUTLER 

*LOVELY IRISH ACCENT*

• CONSTRUCTION IS A BIG ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTOR 

• WORKED WITH DFE ON SAFE RETURN TO WORK 

• OTHER SECTORS OF THE MANX ECONOMY HAVE ALSO CONTINUED TO WORK DURING THIS PERIOD

• CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS ALREADY ALL OVER RISKS PRE COVID – SO WE GOT STRAIGHT TO WORK ON RISK ASSESSMENTS 

• EACH INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANISATION SHOULD ASSESS THEIR OWN RISKS 

• IF YOU’RE VULNERABLE YOU WON’T BE FORCED TO RETURN – GET A PACKAGE FROM TREASURY IF THIS APPLIES TO YOU 

• CONSTRUCTION ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU – APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE WORKING UNDER STRICT GUIDELINES 

QUESTIONS 

• ON PROTECTING THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY – VIBRANCY OF OUR HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE YOUNG ONES ON THE ISLAND

• CONSTRUCTION ARE STAYING SAFE THROUGH SOCIAL DISTANCING AND HAND WASHING 

• IF TOURISM DOESN’T BOUNCE BACK WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE VENUES AS LOCALS – FURTHER GOV FUNDING MAY BE REQUIRED TOO 

• PEOPLE SLIPPING THROUGH THE MERS CRACKS – WE ARE GOING TO GET THE SUPPORT TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED 

• 65+ NOT GETTING MERA – EQUALITY FACTORS MIGHT COME INTO PLAY

• SORRY TO ANYONE WHO HASN’T BEEN PAID YET – WE’RE DOING OUR BEST 

• ECONOMIC IMPACT – WE CAN EXPECT A STRATEGY IN DUE COURSE

• ON EMERGENCY LENDING – LOZ FULLY SUPPORTS THE MOVE TO ENABLE A BOUNCE BACK 

• IT’S NEVER BEEN CHEAPER TO BORROW MONEY – WE CAN ISSUE CURRENCY DIFFERENTLY 

• PRE COVID – ECONOMY WAS ON GOOD PATH – MORE JOBS THAN PEOPLE 

• IF WE DO THINGS TOO QUICK TOO FAST – PEOPLE WILL JUST GET CONFUSED 

• BACK TO THE DALBY SPOOK – LIAISING WITH ALL SECTORS ON WHO WILL COME BACK NEXT, DECISIONS ULTIMATELY RELIES ON DATA
