Business people ‘must have role’ in influencing government decisions

BUSINESS people are not involved enough in forming policy and influencing Government decisions.

This was one of the calls from the annual UCC Commerce conference when some of the country’s top business people said that the corporate world needs to be more involved when it comes to making decisions at a political level.

Group finance director with the O’Flynn Group, Brendan Lenihan, said that people in business are very busy at the moment and don’t tend to seek to offer advice, but this has to change.
