Text

Thank you, Minister, for your answer. The pressures of costs and inflation have not gone away, and businesses are really struggling. Many business organisations have said that it is sometimes difficult to meet the Minister. Will you commit to meeting representatives of small businesses, such as the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), Retail NI, Hospitality Ulster and our regional chambers, as a collective, so that, together, you can address some of their challenges?
