Is í an fhadhb a atá agam i ndáiríre ná má bhíonn ar ghnólachtaí áirithe fanacht roinnt míonna go dtí go mbeidh an chabhair sin acu, ciallaíonn sé sin go mbeidh ar chuid acu a gcuid doirse a dhúnadh. Mar gheall ar sin, dóibh siúd atá i gceantair níos iargúlta, táimid ag admháil faoi sin mar gheall go bhfuil siad ag brath ar ola agus an LPG seo agus nach féidir leo an chabhair a fháil ón Rialtas. Caithfimid breathnú air sin.

I take the Minister of State's point that we need to bring ideas into the review, but I would make the point that a number of months in a small business's life, in a small rural isolated area, can have a serious impact in terms of them having to close their doors. We do need to look at any kind of way we can assist those businesses to remain open, for the viability of small villages across the west.
