- Business Regulation (5 May 2011)
Peadar Tóibín: I worked with approximately 2,000 separate businesses in the past seven years in my previous job as a management consultant. One of the major problems they had was getting paid on time. On many occasions when they went to banks, banks did not wish to get on the wrong side of the chain of credit.

- Job Creation (5 May 2011)
Peadar Tóibín: There is a major difference between the perspectives of each side of the floor. The Government is locked into a deflationary policy that prevents major job-creation initiatives from being undertaken. In the Nyberg report, we read about the herd mentality.
