The country's small businesses remain positive about their prospects in the coming year, despite the downturn in the economy.
The Small Firms Association's Spring Economic Statement says restoring our economic competitiveness must be the central focus of Government policy over the next 12 months.
It wants the Government to continue to invest in infrastructure but to reign in other expenditure.
SFA Director Patricia Callan says small companies are finding it harder to be competitive, but believe they will pull through if the Government cuts costs and improves productivity.
