Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

Obviously, any organisation can make representations and submissions to partnership. There is a broad spectrum of representatives around the table already. Anything that contributes to a positive outcome and decisions by social partnership is welcome. Regarding ISME, this Department is very conscious of its role in ensuring the removal of regulatory burdens. We have a commitment to reduce that by 25% so when any proposals come forward, they are proofed and analysed to ensure that we do not put further burdens on small businesses.
