I can take it that the witnesses' organisations are well organised and have engaged with senior officials, the Government and the Taoiseach. When these schemes are announced, however, they fall far short of addressing microbusinesses and all the way up to the medium-to-large SMEs. Is there a failure on the side of the Government to understand the case being made or is there a failure on the side of the witnesses' organisations concerning the presentation of their cases on behalf of the members they represent?
