- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Small Companies Administrative Rescue Process: Discussion (8 May 2024)
Róisín Garvey: I thank the witnesses for attending, and well done to them because it seems like a good process overall. The feedback from companies on it is good. I am interested in getting a breakdown of the size of the 62 companies that have availed of SCARP to date. I presume it is mainly bigger companies if the amount involved is €200 million. What was the biggest challenge? Do the witnesses...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Small Companies Administrative Rescue Process: Discussion (8 May 2024)
Róisín Garvey: I am not surprised the World Bank has no great insights. I do not know how concerned the World Bank has ever been about keeping small businesses afloat. I do not know if it is the best place to go. I imagine other departments of enterprise, trade and employment might have better insights into how successful their SCARP-type schemes might be. I would not go to the World Bank for that kind...

They seem to be working in silos, many of them under...
