Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Linda Nelson Murray (Fine Gael)
It was stated that the cost of business, reducing legal costs, addressing labour shortages and administrative burdens, etc., are all essential in maintaining chambers' members competitiveness. Two weeks ago we sat here with the Alliance for Insurance Reform and had a very robust debate. The place was full and everybody had issues with insurance. I do not really see it mentioned in the submission. Is it something that the chamber's members have brought up as something that is really affecting them in terms of the cost of business? No one has the million dollar solution to it all, but what does the chamber think can be done to make insurance fair and allow all types of businesses to be able to obtain insurance?
