A&O and Herbies share £3m of public funding for Belfast launches

This would be funny if it weren't so serious. Quite why highly profitable businesses need a subsidy for this is hard to fathom. Why not apply a means test as with other state benefits? it is highly likely there are millions of additional profit that both firms could achieve through some minor changes in working practices and no one would have to work a 'unit' longer. Perhas the partners involved are secretly bankers at heart and feel a sense of entitlement.
