I thank Dr. Donohoe and Dr. Power for their time this morning and the expert group for a very good briefing document. As we are aware, SMEs face increasingly competitive markets, especially those in certain sectors such as retail. In the global world that we live in, it is difficult for SMEs to survive and grow. I note that the background briefing highlights upskilling management and digital capacity in SMEs as being particularly important, which is correct. I appreciate that there are various plans and strategies in place to try to achieve this goal and assist SMEs. I am wondering whether there is any insight into how effective these efforts are proving. Are data available about how many SMEs are engaging?
