Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Linda Nelson Murray (Fine Gael)
I would add rental increase to the list. I do not know if ICTU is hearing from its members about that as an issue. Perhaps land is not being zoned for commercial buildings or retail use. In big towns, you are forced to stay in the arrangement you are in and there is no competition in the market. You end up paying very high levels of rent. I do not know if ICTU hears about that often but it is something I see.
