Dublin City Council, the relevant local authority in respect of businesses located in Dublin 7, has to date received the sum of €26,681,619 in an initial funding tranche from this Department.

As of 24 July 2020, Dublin City Council has received a total number of 5496 applications from businesses seeking Restart Grant funding. Of this amount, 3824 have successfully been approved for payment.

In terms of businesses located in Dublin 15, Fingal County Council has to date received a total of 1799 applications for Restart Grant funding. Of this amount 1,333 applicants have been successfully approved for funding from the initial tranche of €8,043,964 allocated to the Council on initiation of the Scheme.

 In response to the Deputy’s specific queries in relation to the amounts sought and amounts allocated to businesses in Dublin 7 and Dublin 15 respectively, it is not possible to provide this information in isolation from the total amounts as outlined above. This information has not been collected and collated by Local Authorities as they have not been instructed to do so in the Service Level Agreement agreed in relation to their administering of the Scheme on behalf of my Department.
