We heard from the witnesses today and those who were here last week about two main ways we can help business and small businesses, diversification was one. The second was in respect of buffering the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations and hedging. What exactly can the Government or the State do to help business, bearing in mind that it will be a real money issue, a demand on the Exchequer and there might be state aid implications? How do we prepare to help business face the challenges of the exchange rate problem?
