Small firms’ assoc chair re-elected

SUE O’Neill has been re-elected as chair of the Small Firms Association for a two-year term. Ms O’Neill has served as the lobby group’s chair since 2016.

In a statement, the organisation said that Ms O’Neill’s key priority will be to lobby Government for the introduction and implementation of a National Small Business Strategy for Ireland.

This initiative is calling on the Government to target the development of small business across all regions “with just as much energy and strategic focus as they have put on attracting Foreign Direct Investment.”

She will also urge the Government to safeguard small firms against rising costs and the erosion of competitiveness.
