Kilkenny businessman critical of ‘knee-jerk’ reaction by Government to insurance crisis
Former VFI President Pat Crotty says it won't solve the bigger issue
A local businessman says the move by Government to offer a one-off payment to childcare providers is a scandalous decision.
Pat Crotty who owns Paris Texas Bar & Restaurant in Kilkenny City says it a knee-jerk reaction that won’t solve the insurance issue.
Today Finance Minister Pascal Donohue has insisted that this Government has been pro-active in anticipating the insurance crisis facing businesses.
But Mr Crotty who is a former President of the Vintners Federation says they are not acting with any sense of urgency.
