There is no comfort for SMEs to say that the Department of Social Protection looks after the issue. It all comes into the Exchequer. This is why we, the Regional Group, today proposed in the Dáil that a task force be set up so that all the Departments will knit together to see how they can legitimately help small businesses in a tangible way, rather than have schemes that are not suitable being announced. I am mighty critical of the schemes we have had, and rightly so.
