A Clare Fianna Fáil candidate has admitted the Government needs to cut the red tape in order for small businesses to survive. It follows industry criticism over the €4,000 power up grant introduced in the Budget, which only applied to firms who received the Increased Cost of Business payment , distributed in October. So far this year, over 760 retail firms and restaurants have closed nationwide, and in its manifesto, Fianna Fáil has pledged to develop a new cost of business advisory forum to oversee new supports for the sector. Doonbeg General Election Candidate Councillor Rita McInerney insists the groundwork is already in place to tackle issues.

The Government has given the green light to a plan to develop a State-led liquified natural gas terminal. The plan was brought before a meeting of the Cabinet by Minister for Transport, Environment, Climate and Energy, Darragh O'Brien on Wednesday. Minister for Transport, Environment, Climate and Energy, Darragh O'Brien brought the plan before a meeting of the Cabinet this morning.
