Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 July 2025
362. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment if he will make a specific targeted provision for a scheme to support small businesses in providing baby changing facilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37129/25]
View answerMy Department has not yet given consideration to the matter raised by the Deputy. The matter of such facilities may be pertinent to building regulations which are generally within the remit of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
However, for a comprehensive overview of existing supports available to businesses, I would encourage any business owner to visit the National Enterprise Hub (NEH). The NEH is available to those who wish to start their own business, or indeed for those who already own a business. The NEH is an all-of-government service, staffed by expertly trained advisors and is focused on helping businesses access a range of government supports. The hub brings together information and resources on over 250 government supports from 29 different Departments and State Agencies.
