Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Mr. Tom Parlon:
We have had a great deal of engagement with the banks but clearly the Government's proposed €750 million fund is a small builder's fund and it is being introduced on the basis of that demand. There are other political issues but the budget was announced a while ago. We are engaging with the Department of Finance and we hope that the fund will materialise quickly.
