Ms Aoife McBride:

I do not think you would get into retail now. The sad thing is, when I spoke to other retailers in Killarney and Killorglin, every single one of them said that the Government does not care about small business or retail. It was not that they were angry. This was just a thing they were used to and that is the way it is. Maybe it is only because I have come back into the business and am fighting for it, but they are just exhausted. They are saying, "I just need to wait until I retire and get out of here", and nobody is taking over those businesses. It is just sad.
