Business Supports
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-01
============================================================

Robert Troy (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I do not think there is much further to add. It is critically important that the message goes out from this House that businesses should engage with Revenue and should not bury their heads in the sand. When they are forthcoming and engage with Revenue, the Minister is saying today that flexibilities will be forthcoming and we should know very shortly what those flexibilities will look like. Businesses need certainty. They are planning. They do not plan day to day or week to week but, quite often, a year in advance. The sooner we can get that certainty out to business and that flexibility, the better. We need to see low interest rates and longer periods of time so that sustainable businesses can continue to trade and protect the jobs they create.
