Comment: Government must stop pandering to small parties and start helping SMEs

Small businesses are concerned about insurance costs and the lacklustre response of the political class, writes ISME’s Neil McDonnell.

With the media fixated on motor car insurance, SMEs will tell you that the costs of all types of insurance for buildings, public liability and employees, are rising.

Isme is no supporter of the insurance industry, but as long as we have a system that places the value of a broken toe at €15,000, we will have expensive insurance.
