I hope they are true. I watch British politics and I question whether the lights are on. Brexit is a disaster for us and the UK. Some of the deliberations at political level in the UK defy logic and do a great disservice to the British public given the impact Brexit will have.
In the context of Brexit, the valuation of sterling and so on, are there specific measures the SME sector would like to see being taken? What is the kernel of the difference in the small business strategy? People speak about strategies but many of them are common. Is there a silver bullet, specific to the SME sector, that, to borrow a phrase from the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, would make Ireland the best small country in which to do business or perhaps the best country in which small business can operate? This is a very good exercise.
