Select Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources

An Post: Discussion with Chairperson Designate

5:00 pm

Mr. Dermot Divilly:

One thing we are considering is a trial whereby we would ship small volumes of product abroad for SMEs or exporters and aggregate that because we have knowledge in that regard. Deputy Eamon Ryan is absolutely right that one must be absolutely open-minded to everything because there is no one thing that will solve this for us and, as he says, there will be cliffs. They will be like steps of a staircase at times and will come pretty quickly, but I will be encouraging this approach.
