I propose to answer questions 33619 and 33924 together
Budget 2021 included a number of substantial measures to support and strengthen the tourism sector supplemented by economy-wide business supports and social welfare measures. The supports available to tourism businesses will continue to be reviewed as we seek to protect viable businesses and prepare for recovery in the sector.
The administration of the Covid-19 Adaptation Grant scheme for tourism businesses is an operational matter for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputies' questions to them for further information and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
