When NAMA was first introduced, it was presented as a cash flow strategy for the banks. The format was simple, transfer all the major debt to NAMA and the banks could release credit/funding to the business sector. Sounds Right? WRONG.
What has emerged is not a simple cash flow adjustment, but a major solvency issue for the banks. While the rights and the wrongs are debated elsewhere, the small business sector has been strangled for credit and funding. Many businesses have ceased trading as a result. Credit Ratings for many operations have plunged. Banks claim that they are open for lending/.credit, countered by conflicting findings from the employer's bodies.
We will face a farcical situation where banks will raise the criteria for loans where credit ratings have fallen for many potential customers.

Racism
Until very recently I would have associated racialism as a non-Irish issue. However I was shocked to learn that racialism is a matter of course in Mayo. I visit a Castlebar shop on a regular basis. I am normally attended by a friendly and efficient Polish lady. On a recent visit this young lady was absent.
Mayo Marketing Company
When it was first introduced, it received an indifferent response. The objective was to build on the momentum created by Mayo 5000 and to extend activities to include both Tourism and the conventional business sector. The latter to support local small business access export markets.
"Bord Failte is in the business of promoting tourism and the state bodies support the business sector"

360 Degree Development
The recent ESRI report offered a glimmer in an otherwise dark and gloomy landscape. However it must be noted that this premise is based on a specific set of circumstances. Ireland is still in the grip of a severe economic downturn; The upturn in associated economies will bring some solace to Ireland; the main changes must be developed and driven within this country.
The national preoccupation is to apportion blame on those responsible Very little emphases is directed at the means to combat the situation. We need to restore a focus on economic and enterprise development. There is an acknowledgement that what is now required is beyond the resources of government and the conventional support agencies. Job losses continue to increase in retail and small business sectors without comment. Nationally we are racing to unemployment in excess of half a million. What is really disheartening is the lack of any serious measures to counter this situation.
