Mr. Neil McDonnell:

The Department performing well in this area is the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. That is because the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has a regular, scheduled forum with businesses and she talks to many sectors. Specifically, referring to the blind spot, that is what I mean when I state the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform do not have a real understanding of the issues and the diversity of issues - or at least that is not visible to us.
