“More and more SMEs – particularly in the hospitality and retail sectors – are experiencing financial stress and are exploring whether examinership or SCARP could offer a viable path to recovery. These are powerful tools that can help preserve jobs and restructure businesses for the future.

“I’m focused on helping Irish businesses navigate challenging trading conditions, from high energy costs and raising wages to the accelerated pace of digital transformation.”
