I want to ask the Exporters Association about two points that are referenced in its submission. Firstly the failure of the State to link up with micros and bring them into the exporting loop, and the failure to develop SMEs and mid-caps into larger global corporations. Will it elaborate on this, especially in regard to the latter where Irish SMEs often sell up to foreign buyers rather than receive the help they might need to scale up and grow the business? It is an area I have a particular interest in. There are only a few seconds, but the Cathaoirleach might indulge us.
