The Government is concerned about conditions for enterprise and has taken a series of initiatives to increase the flow of credit to the real economy, most notably, the establishment of the Credit Review Office and the €3bn SME lending plans of AIB and Bank of Ireland which I feel will ensure that viable SMEs continue to access credit.
