Ms Geraldine Kelly:

We all love the idea of a crock at the end of the rainbow. The way I think about that idea is that this is about hope. It is about those businesses that are struggling today realising that the opportunity to come to Microfinance Ireland exists. We circulated the case studies as part of our presentation. We are supporting a wide range of businesses including people engaged in the production of free range meat products and specialist ice-cream and a person who has a tax audit franchise. In addition to Ms Adrienne Murray's wish in terms of a crock of gold of getting access directly at the point where people having not been access to credit., those businesses that we have supported will be great champions for us in spreading the word. There is no stronger promotion than a person who is running a business saying to somebody else, "This worked for me, why do you not consider that?". It is about spreading the word. Those businesses are in all the constituencies around the country. What we are talking about is about capturing that in order that we can keep the momentum.
