93 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps she is taking to combat the problem of the responsibility gap in enterprise supports, identified in the 2004 document, Review of Enterprise Support in Rural Areas, in view of the fact that companies with between ten and 500 employees will only be dealt with by Enterprise Ireland if they constitute a high potential start up and is exacerbated by the new rural development plan 2007 to 2013 which puts Leader groups in the same enterprise support category as county enterprise boards, prohibiting them from assisting groups with more than ten employees; if her attention has been drawn to the problems being created by this responsibility gap with respect to indigenous small and medium enterprise, especially those involved in the agri-food sector; the initiatives she is taking to increase supports for indigenous SMEs, especially those falling within this responsibility gap, in view of the fact that most of these schemes, including the employment subsidy scheme exclude these enterprises from their criteria; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
