Under the new Restart Grant scheme, which was launched as part of the July Stimulus package on 23 July 2020, pubs will be eligible for the grant if they operate from rateable premises.   

The grant will be based on the amount of the rates assessment for the premises for 2019 (excluding arrears) with a new minimum grant of €4,000 and a maximum grant of €25,000. 

The revised Scheme and online application forms will be available from local authorities from end of July. The current Restart Grant closed for applicants on 22 July 2020. Applicants under the first Restart Grant can apply again for a second grant as part of the revised Restart Grant.
