Ms Claire McGee:

It is at this time. The challenges are great. Considering the scale of the surplus we have in the National Training Fund, it would be a powerful statement of intent to support SMEs to engage with the system. It would be a short and sharp intervention over a two- to three-year period that would help SMEs to springboard their engagement with the system. One never knows what that might lead to next in respect of what happens in the CRTs or Enterprise Ireland technology centres. It is a starting block. It is not going to be a panacea but it is a good start.
