Deputy Troy wants the Enterprise Minister to address the issue.
Measures introduced by the Government are costing a Westmeath business €155,000.
That's the view of Longford Westmeath Fianna Fáil TD Robert Troy, who's urging the Enterprise Minister to support businesses like Wholesome Kitchen in Mullingar.
