Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business
Mr. Danny McCoy:
As I said earlier, I believe there are several fora in which to do it. Perhaps a small business forum would be helpful in that regard, but it need not be exclusive.
The point Deputy Collins is making goes to the heart of one of our asks. We need clarity on the 2 m-1 m rule. Even if it is not to be applied now, we need to know that it is coming. In fact, it will be coming and we know it will be coming. Let us be grown up about it to allow people to plan on that basis. Whether it comes in immediately or in the future, leaving small businesses with uncertainty is adding to the stress of what is already a stressful situation.
