Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I will not go through the interesting list of the number of forms their members must complete that the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association, ISME, gave the committee on enterprise, trade and employment yesterday but I am delighted that I am in a public sector PAYE job because I would hate to be in business. There is obviously nothing happening. Nobody is being upskilled, a commitment to set a target for regulation is broken and the Minister is not here to explain why. I would be terrified to be running a business, with the level of inertia, disinterest and the lack of concern from the Minister of State.
