The Chamber has published its Pre-Budget submission which sets out to Government the priorities of Cork’s business community in advance of Budget 2014.  A central priority of Budget 2014 must be the resolute avoidance of any increases to the costs of doing business in Ireland given the persistent challenges and pressures businesses continue to experience after six years of austerity.  The Chamber’s PBS focuses on a number of key measures that will facilitate and support the operation of existing businesses and incentivise and enable the expansion and growth of these businesses in addition to wider measures that improve confidence levels and stimulate the domestic economy. 

The Pre-Budget Submission focuses on four key areas: taxation; supports for micro, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs; employment protection and generation; and priority infrastructure projects to ensure a strong, economic region that has the capacity to attract and capitalise on growth and employment opportunities.
