Mr. Shane Conneely:

Prior to the budget we were in here lobbying various parties on this issue and we were hoping the supports that would come in would be linked to the employment levels within the firm, which would help, as opposed to doing it in the way it was done. It would also help for it to be targeted towards different sectors. The butcher example is one that is very common around the country. Anyone who is trying to maintain a cold chain is struggling and they were very surprised to be struggling in the way they are as well. We were flagging that in July. If the Government is going to introduce something that is going to benefit all firms to the same extent, effectively, in a flat way across the economy, it is going to help firms that do not need the help and the scheme is not going to be sufficiently targeted to affect those businesses that actually need the supports.
