Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Albert Dolan (Galway East, Fianna Fail)
My first question is about cost pressures. The witnesses went into detail about the labour costs. Is it the labour cost, the energy cost, the insurance cost or a mixture of everything that poses the biggest threat to the ability of SMEs to remain competitive now? What practical steps should the Government be taking to alleviate those costs?
