I would like to know how many of the 25 staff concerned have SME experience which would give them a better understanding of what small businesses are currently going through.

What comfort can Mr. Quinn give this morning to SMEs and the Irish Art Supply Federation that their concerns are being listened to and that they will be involved in the new process as it is rolled out over the next three to six months?
