The committee heard earlier from representatives of IBEC and ISME who outlined some of the challenges their members face, one of which is liquidity. Will Dr. Quinn indicate the Department's position on two other challenges? The Company Law Review Group is looking at the issue of examinership lite. Does the Department have a role to play in that regard and will Dr. Quinn give an opinion on it? It is a significant cost to businesses if they have to enter an examinership process. The second challenge is insurance. IBEC and ISME today called for a Cabinet sub-committee on insurance, perhaps led by the Taoiseach. Will Dr. Quinn give us her thoughts on that matter?
