The delegates are very welcome and I thank them for opening our eyes to a great deal of information.

Two delegates mentioned capital gains tax. What do they propose should happen? What is happening elsewhere? How different are we from what is happening elsewhere?

My eyes were opened by the reference to the level of State help in capital grants for Scottish whisky. I did not know that. Are there opportunities for us in Ireland to do something similar?
