| | Wexford Chamber Headlines |  | |
Chambers Ireland has called on the Government to use Budget 2014 to support new and existing small businesses. Rather than just looking to introduce new measures, the Government needs to take a look at initiatives already in place and examine how they can be of more benefit to business. The Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme (EIIS) and the Seed Capital Scheme (SCS) are two examples.

Wexford Rounding Trial | | |
 I am writing to invite you to participate in the 1 and 2 cent Rounding Trial which the Central Bank is running in Wexford Town from mid-September to mid-November 2013.
The Trial will reduce the number of 1 and 2 cent coins in circulation, test how rounding will work in practice, and assess the reaction of consumers and retailers.
How will the Rounding Trial work?
The Rounding Trial rules are simple and fair for all. Cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 5 cent at the till to remove the need for 1 and 2 cent coins in giving change. The price of individual goods or services will remain unchanged as only the total bill will be rounded. Non-cash transactions are not affected. .....READ MORE HERE |
