SMEs : The People Powering Ireland. How Local business is or is not surviving in a time of Covid

Introducing episode one of "Covid: Against the Tide", a series looking at the unique challenges faced by Ireland's SME sector over the past year, and into 2021.

In partnership with ISME and the Edmund Burke Institute:

2020 has been an absolutely devastating year for small businesses all across Ireland. COVID-19, and the Government's response to it, has left many local businesses barely hanging on.

In this video, the first of a series, we look at how bad the situation actually is on the ground and what steps the Government should take to protect these businesses and the communities that depend on them.
