Spokesperson on Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Billy Kelleher TD: Ireland needs to be ready for another downturn.Photo Gareth Chaney CollinsKelleher: Ireland must be ready for a downturnIRISH banks are “pillaging” the economy while the government fails to learn the lessons of the last financial crash, according to Fianna Fáil enterprise spokesperson and Cork North Central Fianna Fáil TD Billy Kelleher. Billy Kelleher TD: took over the Fianna Fáil business brief last year. Once the bulk of that work was done, Mr Kelleher moved on to enterprise, which he believes has a lot more space for strategy than health. With the economy growing following the crash, he believes that plans need to be made now so that Ireland is ready for the next downturn. With businesses expanding, Mr Kelleher believes that now is the time for strategic planning, both to meet the needs of the market, but also to insulate against another downturn.
