Could Ms O'Dea give us the sectors involved in the 62 cases, and the costs in terms of the completed process compared with, let us say, an examinership? Is it too early to know the survival rate of the 40 companies that have completed the process? Do we know how many, if any, were contested and had to go to court before they were confirmed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Small Companies Administrative Rescue Process: Discussion (8 May 2024)

Richard Bruton: I will ask a question very quickly. Does Dr. Coates have the overall figures for the number of businesses that are born and die each year?

Against that background, while SCARP has clearly hit an excellent point in that it is much cheaper than an examinership and it is working well, are there other international examples of...
