An organisation representing small businesses has called for decisive action on the issue of rising business costs from the new Cabinet led by Taoiseach Simon Harris.

The Small Firms Association said a new PRSI rebate needs to be introduced to help small companies and other businesses as they transition towards providing a Living Wage.

"Many small and viable businesses are struggling to manage costs arising from high energy costs, supply chain challenges and fluctuating commodity prices." Alongside the PRSI rebate, the organisation has put forward a range of suggestions of ways in which the business costs issue could be addressed. A range of upskilling supports are also needed, it says, as well as measures around achieving the transition to the green economy and access to work for employees with disabilities.

"I hope his administration will follow through on its commitment to help small businesses as a matter of urgency."
