Small and Medium Enterprises

============================================================

Alan Farrell (FG), Dublin Fingal

My question relates to the Department's plans to support the SME sector in Ireland, for the very reasons that the Minister outlined in his response to the previous group of questions. There are significant increases in costs associated, in particular, with businesses in the hospitality and food sectors which have been contacting me in increasing numbers in recent weeks. The Minister has already set out a great amount of information in the House this morning and I cannot help but feel that this question should have been included in the previous grouping. That being said, it would be helpful if the Minister provided a further response.
