But there's people going to be going on social welfare or whatever they need to go to this evening over this.

And the thing I'm going to have to let go is lads go out of my yard for the first time ever.

I've never let anyone go since the start.

But I have to let them go.

That's the decision I have to make.

I'm getting rid of the contracting, the agri-contracting side of our business shut up last night at 12 o'clock.

And I mean for good.

I'm not reversing.

If the government comes out today and they tell me they're going to give me a euro a year off, I am still never will attract or leave my yard again doing contracting.

That is the decision I made.

I'm not fighting anymore with this.

I'm gone.

And you know what?

I hope all the contractors around the country sit down tonight and look at themselves in the mirror and

and just turn around and say, is this worth this sinking ship?

Because I'm telling you now, I've lived on the front line since 2007, and it is a sinking ship.

And only I have other things in the background that's kind of keeping it propped up

But I think me leaving now might save some other contractors around me because I'm poisoning them.

I have another business that I can go off at and not worry about my contracting business.

But I just want to batten down the hat, just keep my employees safe, that they're able to pay their mortgages and that they're not going to go through what I went through in 2008 and 2009.
