Mr. Declan Meally:

We now work very closely with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and the enterprise agencies that were providing a suite of information for all businesses, to actually work through it. We saw the uptake last year jump year-on-year. It was one of the busiest for business under the business programmes. We have increased that again this year. We are looking at going out there to make sure businesses are aware of the offerings. What happened last year was because of the jump in energy prices. It brought energy right up the ranking order of costs for businesses. A lot more have come to us now and we want to make sure the information is signposted. We are doing that through the Departments of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and through hotels, to make sure they are all aware of the supports that are available.
