Reboot Ireland ‘to focus on indigenous economy’

The new Reboot Ireland political party will focus “doggedly” on the indigenous economy, particularly on small and medium enterprises, a meeting held by the movement in Cork heard last night.

Addressing the 80 members of the public who attended the meeting in the Silver Springs Hotel, Lucinda Creighton TD said that SMEs are being discriminated against in terms of their tax burden and do not receive the same level of incentives that are afforded to Foreign Direct Investment.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, economist Eddie Hobbs said that he had yet to decide if he would run for the new party. “I describe myself as being at the front door of the party, welcoming in new members with one hand, with a baseball bat in my other hand for the old political stock who think that they can come and join this party now as a kind of flag of convenience,” he said.
