Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business
Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:
No, it is not, because that is the first thing we would do. We have an early warning system, we meet the management of the company, we see what is possible and we see if there are supports they need. We do that type of analysis. As I said, it is not just meetings. We monitor every Wednesday across Government where the problems are. I take the Deputy's point about the scale we could face, but it should be remembered we went through this in 2010 when we brought in the Action Plan for Jobs. We have a lot of experience, as does the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection in particular.
