We all know small and medium-sized industries are the backbone of the economy given the part they play in many communities. I read in yesterday's newspaper that they are owed millions of euro by Departments and local authorities. It beggars belief why Departments and local authorities take so long to pay for works well done. Like all of us, these small and medium-sized industries need cashflow. Will the Deputy Leader arrange a debate? Is there anything we can do to encourage Departments and local authorities to pay their bills more quickly?
