Cork Chamber sets out plans for economic recovery

Cork Chamber has set out its vision for sustainable economic recovery as its members report an expected 43% drop in revenue this year.

The business representative group, which has 1,200 members who employ more than 100,000 people, has called for deferring VAT, PRSI, loan repayments, utility charges and rent, as well as the provision of additional sector-specific supports. They say such steps can "provide a lifeline to businesses and save jobs".
