Yes. Enterprise Ireland obviously will be very much at the forefront in any business recovery in these times, but politicians will also be at the forefront. How can we work together? It is not good enough for us to just be passing on phone numbers or email addresses. Is it possible that public representatives could have one-to-one contact with Enterprise Ireland going forward in order that we can build a better relationship, particularly as these are very difficult times for many businesses and we need to find solutions? We need to work with the Department and Enterprise Ireland to identify those and we need to have them ourselves. How can this relationship be built? The relationship is not great at present. It needs to be worked on.
