Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Finbarr Filan:
If there is a decision to provide energy subsidies, they need to be targeted. I have a Centra store and I have a post office. In the last round of supports I got €4,000 for each business, which was really welcome. However, the electricity bill for my post office is €130 a month while the bill for the store is €5,700. We need to target supports.
