Mr. Seán Murphy:

One speaks about businesses responding, but the reality is the market will decide for businesses. The market decides whether businesses shut or survive, whether it involves Amazon or any other business. We have been asked to address the conditions that collectively through our regulatory and fiscal regimes we can address to enable local businesses to survive. It is right to state businesses need to go online, as those which do not will be dead. There has been a massive shake-out in the downturn, but a significant number of jobs are still in the sector with 180,000 people still employed in retail. It has massive potential to grow further and this is what we are getting at.
