Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Credit Review Office Report: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. John Trethowan:

Not a lot, at present it seems to have taken off more in the United Kingdom because the government pumped some money into some of the players.

We have not seen that as a solution to some of the problems we are trying to solve with SMEs and farms here, although it may be in the future. It may be that the risk appetite of the crowd funders is limited as well. I again refer the committee to the website, which lists the crowd funders and other innovative product specific players involved. There is probably more happening in regard to new players than has been publicised in the market. We will forward the website address so that members can have a look at it.
