Report on Access to Finance for SMEs: InterTradeIreland

Mr. Aidan Gough:
That would be a seven, eight or ninefold increase over a period of six or seven years. They also need to set a target that is realistic. InterTradeIreland is an all-island body and not just a Northern Ireland body. We have brokered the close co-operation that is taking place. There is a recognition within Northern Ireland that closer co-operation with the South will benefit it in increasing its drawdown.
