View answerIn order to assist businesses to address the challenges posed by COVID-19, the Government has put in place a comprehensive suite of supports for firms of all sizes, which includes the wage subsidy scheme, grants, low-cost loans, write-off of commercial rates and deferred tax liabilities. These supports are designed to build confidence, to further assist businesses in terms of the management of their companies and to allow them to begin looking to the future and start charting a path forward for weeks and months ahead.
Details of the business supports which are administered by enterprise agencies and other bodies on behalf of my Department are included in the documentation contained in the link below.
This table, which is available on my Department's website https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Supports-for-SMEs/COVID-19-supports/, is updated on a weekly basis.
