Mr. Hanley certainly will have that support. I expect it to be one of the recommendations in the report we are doing. I am very conscious that we do not just need report after report but there must be some accountability when huge profits are being made at the cost of struggling businesses. If there was a rationale for that, it would be in some way acceptable, but when there is no rationale whatsoever, it is just a crazy situation.

Ms McCabe of Retail Excellence Ireland said we need to remove unnecessary regulations, consolidate reporting and eliminate duplication. I absolutely agree regarding consolidating reporting and eliminating duplication. However, who decides what regulations are unnecessary?
