Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I support Deputy Murphy's proposal. Many of the high potential start-ups, HPSU, companies being targeted would be comfortable with the model of financing he suggests. While I welcome the venture capital scheme, again it focuses on the export orientated sector, which is fine, but our home grown businesses are still a little lost in terms of financing initiatives. There is no home for them in terms of the continued emphasis being placed on other sectors. While I welcome that emphasis our home grown industries, which do not necessarily have or will ever have an export orientation, are still being ignored. We must collectively ensure supports are put in place for them.
