Irish Credit Corporation would help businesses

The confirmation from the research by the Central Bank that Ireland has the second lowest approval level for small business loan applications in the eurozone, coming just ahead of Greece, comes as no surprise to me and the people of Ireland.

I know people who want to set up small businesses and enterprises and who already run small businesses and enterprises and they are !just ordinary people like you and me trying to make a living and trying to give employment to the hard-pressed people of Ireland. They should be given a chance. It’s time to set up a new Industrial Credit Corporation to give them an opportunity to prosper and create jobs.
