PAYMENT TRENDS
AUTHOR – Rob Howard
But while those at the top revel in speedy payments,
those at the other end of the scale need to make drastic
improvements. Monaghan is by far and away the worst
performing region in Ireland with an enormous overall
DBT of 91.8 days. Carlow (65 days) and Wexford (46.1 days)
also need to improve.
