Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. What I find particularly interesting about the entire competitiveness and cost of doing business debate, the narrative around it and where we are going with it, is the roles the chambers can play in this with regard to highlighting to us what exactly is being faced. That is the purpose for the witnesses being here today. Looking at competitiveness going forward, there is a lagging effect from when a Taoiseach allocates funds in a budget to when the infrastructure comes to life and has long-term implications. In the near term, over the next, say, three to five years, what do the witnesses think are measures the Government can look at and implement to better support businesses across their networks?
