Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

Nobody in this House under estimates the Tánaiste's capacity to commission reports, to appoint task forces or to ask agencies to study things. What we doubt is her ability to make decisions and to make them correctly and in a timely manner. When will we have a decision on this? The enterprise finance guarantee has been brought into the UK and it works. The British Government guarantee is a small portion of the loan which will ensure that the banks are prepared to extend credit to small businesses. When will the Tánaiste stop commissioning reports, appointing task forces and make a decision on this matter?
