Retail Excellence Ireland Welcomes Action Plan for Jobs 2013 but Warns that More Needs to be Done
- 12 March 2013
Retail Excellence Ireland, the largest retail industry trade body in Ireland, today welcomed the publication of the Action Plan for Jobs 2013 but warned that more needs to be done to help the struggling retail industry.
Speaking after the launch, David Fitzsimons, CEO Retail Excellence Ireland said "While we welcome the measures announced today such as an Integrated Licensing Application System and steps to increase the number of businesses trading online, the Government must develop further practical measures to aid our struggling retail industry".
"Over the past few weeks, we have seen businesses fail and many jobs lost, the sector still remains very fragile and Government need to tackle this before we see further failure in the coming months".
