I agree with the commission-----

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Business Supports (23 May 2024)
James O'Connor: Members of Cork County Council are well able to fire a torpedo up here to give out about Oireachtas Members and Ministers when they are not happy but that level of money being paid out is entirely unacceptable. It is not the fault of the Minister or the Department officials when other local authorities seem to be doing this without any concern or issue. It needs to be on the record of the...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I appreciate the figures the Minister has outlined to us and I want to recognise the work of Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, in keeping our own parliamentary party informed every week and trying to get us to encourage businesses to apply for it in the first place. As the Minister has laid out with the figures, the disparity between Cork county and Cork city has flummoxed me over the last...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: That is good. This is really important and I have been on about this grant for the last few weeks. The deadline is next week, 29 May. It needs to be extended more. I see the Minister of State shake her head but the uptake in Carlow is not good. I know this because I have been speaking with all the businesses. I contacted the Chamber of Commerce and some businesses myself because of the...

Peter Burke: I thank all the Deputies for their contributions. I agree with Deputy O'Connor. Cork County Council is the largest local authority in the country and it has the money. We do need to see action now and I will be demanding it over the next few days. As I said, I spoke with the head of the CCMA finance committee. I have written to all chief executives this morning on foot of the change last...
