Ms Tara Buckley:

The Government has announced that it will set up a portal, commencing with the retail grocery trade and we hope that the measure will assist us. At present we have 21 different licences and inspections and they have been outlined in one of our reports. I can forward a copy to the Deputy. The Government has announced that it will provide a portal to allow our members to sort its licences in one sitting. The applications will then be sent off in cyberspace using a portal format and members will get their various licences returned to them. We welcome the move and will work with the Government to ensure that the system works.
