Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion (Resumed)
4:30 pm
Mr. Ian Talbot:
Our mentoring programme has not been mentioned. I see the compelling logic of Senator Davitt's idea but there are many company law issues and issues for individual directors. If one was in that situation one would be very worried about the consequences of reckless trading, tax liabilities and the due diligence one would need to undertake to prove just how good or bad was a company at which one was looking. There would be many dangers that would make it very difficult for business owners to sign up for something like that. There would be a lot to work on.
