About the SME Alliance
The SME Alliance is a coalition of SME representative bodies who came together to reduce the cost of doing business in Ireland. We believe that by reducing the cost of doing business, we can save jobs and help keep businesses alive. Our campaign is focused on advocating for policies that support business and reduce the burden placed on them by Government policies. Join us in our mission to save Irish businesses and reduce costs.
Upcoming Campaigns
We have two campaign messages:
-
Irish SMEs cannot compete with the massive wage premiums paid by multinational employers and the public service. Benchmarking the minimum wage against these will fail, costing jobs and businesses.
-
Small business must be represented when employment terms and conditions are discussed by Government. The forum for this is the Labour Employer Economic Forum (LEEF) which has NO small business representation on it, despite the fact that SMEs employ 60% of the Irish workforce. We need pro-rata representation for SME employers on LEEF.
