Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

As small businesses need to deal with a number of agencies, CSO, CRO, Revenue, CEB etc., as a long or even medium-term objective, could the Minister of State introduce a standard form that would suit the application to different agencies? Businesses should not be required to fill in the same information on many forms which consumes hours of business time and wastes time. The form should be simplified with four or five pages and not like the form for the carer's allowance. I filled in that form last night for a woman and it had approximately 20 pages, most of which was raiméis and wasteful.
