The Cost of Business Forum met on Wednesday 22nd April to discuss the key recommendations and the publication date for the final report of the Forum. RGDATA has made several submissions to the Forum and Director General Tara Buckley has been an active participant in the plenary sessions highlighting the significant cost of doing business that is impacting on independent retailers. Buckley will be seeking strict timelines for delivery of the key recommendations and consistent monitoring to ensure that the implementation of the recommendations reduces the cost of doing business for all SMEs.
