A lot of it has been said but it is quite an interesting point. I am sure it is the case for all of us that when we meet with local businesses in our estates or wherever, the ones that we talk to all the time, they always say there can be a huge access issue for a lot of supports and they do not have the expertise that others have. A lot of people go into business having maybe just left school, they develop that business and it can be a family thing, and they want to grow and succeed but there can be an access issue. I echo what Deputy O'Callaghan said in relation to that.
