NAMA – a fly in the ointment

To the Irish media, NAMA is the main event and the only show in town. To most small business owners and entrepreneurs it is nothing more than a very annoying distraction but a distraction that is at the heart of a major problem for SMEs. Business stakeholders, be it banks, state agencies, private investors or government should have been taking the lead and stimulating the SME sector but NAMA has stopped them, made them re-think their strategy and who is losing out – small businesses. The same small businesses that underpin this economy and have the greatest ability to create new jobs, sustainable jobs that NAMA shouldn’t have interefered with.
All the key details on the NAMA discounts etc. are now in the public domain so please can we re-focus and get back to the job in hand – re-building the economy by supporting our SMEs.
