SFA want infrastructure supremo

THE chairman of the Small Firms Association has called for the Government to appoint a National Development Plan supremo to deliver major infrastructure projects.

Angela Kennedy told the SFA annual conference the appointee should not hold an elected office and should be accountable to Government, the public and business to deliver the plan on time and within budget.

She also roundly condemned moves to have the ban on below cost selling removed. She said, as chairman of Bord Bia, she was very afraid that the consumer was taking a one-sided view on the issue.
