WISP £60million, how many apprentices.... 5, Shocking!!!<br /><br />Lews castle if these irish roughians get it you can be assured not 1 apprentice would be employed, the excuse would be that as it is a short term contract they cant. if that contract went to a local firm it would help apprentice numbers, local tradesmen, suppliers and other construction and civil engineering firms, the entire island would benefit, and go out and ask all of these people who they would prefer to work for it wouldn't be the irish.<br /><br />Cllr Campbell, you would get just as many fuel sales if not more, if local firms had the contract, you may even score as us Islanders eat more pies than the irish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-513137927756839402012-02-06T11:27:42.289+00:002012-02-06T11:27:42.289+00:00I think the Council is very blinkered when it come...I think the Council is very blinkered when it comes to giving work out.
