It strikes me that while those of us in Dáil Éireann are very aware of various enterprise-support initiatives, the public is unaware of the significant effort that is going into such initiatives. Much of the effort is not paid for in the sense of people being called upon at all times of the day and night. The public ought to know more about this kind of work because it is both encouraging and inspiring. The commitment of people working with Dublin BIC, who are obviously very able in this sphere, is laudable. They are getting out there and helping companies that need support and encouragement at the start. One rarely reads about such work in newspapers, for example.
