Deirdre Clune (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I am confused. Is the guarantee happening? There has been much soul searching, examination and reports while small businesses are crying out for immediate finance to pay a lease, buy stock or invest in the business. That is the real issue. Business people do not have time for the lengthy process in which the Minister's Department is engaged. Is the Minister intent on introducing the scheme or will yet another report be given to someone to examine to see if its recommendations can be implemented?
