My questions are similar to Deputy Troy's on SMEs, in particular in rural areas. I do not know how the witnesses manage their work in regard to SMEs versus multinationals. They probably gave an answer while I was not here, for which I apologise. There should not be pressure on the companies in rural Ireland run by one or two people. Unknown to them, subliminally and organically, they perform corporate social responsibly through sponsorship, running events and dealing with local clubs. I do not want businesses to be told that if they do not hit a target, they are not performing adequately. I want a more organic approach that is integrated with the community.
