Even three years into the term of the Government lending to businesses is flat at best.

The CRO was meant to be the knight in shining armour to crack the whip...

Other Questions: Seed Capital Scheme Payments (3 Jul 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: There are healthy functioning companies for which an element of their business would be toxic debt.

Peadar Tóibín: This is a matter of simple economics for small business owners, many of whom find it extremely difficult to deal with elongated credit terms.
