22. Deputy Joe Flaherty asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the status of approved just transition projects given recent confirmation that the stipulations for drawing down funding requires the project promoters to provide an unrealistic 50% in match funding for projected project costs. [4839/21]
View answer23. Deputy Joe Flaherty asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he will engage with the ESB and request that the €6 million earmarked from the company for the just transition funding will be ring-fenced and allocated directly to the 30 plus projects struggling to meet the matching 50% funding requirements under the draw-down criteria for just transition approved projects. [4840/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 22 and 23 together.
The objective of the Just Transition Fund is to support innovative projects that contribute to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the Midlands region, and which have employment and enterprise potential.
My Department held a competitive call for applications to this Fund, which closed on 17 July 2020, in response to which over 100 applications were received. Provisional offers of funding totalling €29 million have now been made to 63 projects, of which 16 have already concluded funding agreements with my Department. Further information on these projects is available on https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/ed10d-just-transition-fund.
Of the remaining projects, which are subject to finalisation of funding agreements, a number have been subject to a further state aid assessment to finalise the level of funding that may be granted. These projects have been informed of the outcome of this assessment and have been requested to provide further financial information to my Department.
Subject to satisfactory verification of this additional information and the provision of additional relevant material, such as proof of planning permission, my Department intends to issue final letters of offer and funding agreements to all provisionally approved projects. No formal funding commitments will be entered into by my Department unless and until a final letter of offer and funding agreement has been concluded by both the Department and the relevant project.
As set out in the Department’s information booklet for its call for applications, all projects must include a minimum of 15% match funding from sources other than the Just Transition Fund, that is the Fund will provide support up to a maximum of 85% of the project costs, subject to project compliance with state-aid rules. Where state aid rules apply, the Department is working directly with all affected projects to support them in fulfilling the relevant requirements.
In relation to the ESB commitment to contribute an additional €5 million to the Just Transition Fund for the Midlands, my Department is engaging with the company to ensure that the funding is made available to be deployed through the Just Transition Fund in 2021 to support approved projects. I do not anticipate, however, that this funding will be made available directly to approved projects as an additional contribution to that of the Just Transition Fund.
24. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the status of a scheme (details supplied); the number of applications received from applicants in County Mayo; the number of applications approved in the county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4868/21]
View answerThe results of the first Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS) auction were approved by Government in September 2020, with 82 successful projects made up of 479MW of onshore wind energy projects and 796MW of solar energy projects.
The Department issued notices of award for these 82 projects in September 2020.
Four applications were received from applicants in County Mayo and all four were successful in the scheme.
The four are made up of three windfarms: Dooleeg More, Oweninny Power 2 and Sheskin, and one solar farm: Lisduff.
The full list of successful applicants can be found in the RESS 1 Final Auction Results document published by EirGrid, https://www.eirgridgroup.com/site-files/library/EirGrid/RESS-1-Final-Auction-Results-(R1FAR).pdf.
25. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications further to Parliamentary Question No. 67 of 24 September 2020, the status of the development of a policy statement regarding LNG gas terminals; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4961/21]
View answerThe Programme for Government recognises that as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to develop liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals that import fracked gas. The Programme for Government commits to developing a policy statement to establish that approach.
My Department is in the process of developing the policy statement which includes consideration of any necessary legal and regulatory provisions. This includes detailed examination of the European energy and environmental frameworks, in which our national laws operate, to ensure the policy statement will be legally robust. Once finalised, I intend to bring the policy statement to Government for approval.
26. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications when an area (details supplied) will avail of high-speed broadband. [4981/21]
View answerThe Question refer to a premises located in the AMBER area on the National Broadband Plan (NBP) High Speed Broadband Map which is available on my Department's website www.broadband.gov.ie. The AMBER area represents the area to be served by the network to be deployed under the NBP State led intervention.
I appreciate people's frustration when they are living so close to a fibre network but cannot get a connection to that network, particularly given the heightened importance of connectivity during the Covid-19 pandemic. The NBP will ensure that in all such cases a future proofed high speed broadband network will be built to serve these premises and work to deliver on this is underway.
I am advised by National Broadband Ireland that, as of 22 January 2021, over 166,000 premises across all counties have been surveyed. Surveys in County Westmeath have been completed in Mullingar, Sonna, Stonehall, Taghmon, Jamestown, Hopestown and Athlone. Further details are available on specific areas within County Westmeath through the NBI website which provides a facility for any premises within the intervention area to register their interest in being provided with deployment updates through its website www.nbi.ie. Individuals who register with this facility will receive regular updates on progress by NBI on delivering the network and specific updates related to their own premises as works commence. I am advised that NBI is working to provide more detail on its website, with a rolling update on network build plans. NBI also has a dedicated email address, reps@nbi.ie, which can be used by Oireachtas members for specific queries.Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) are a key element of the NBP providing high speed broadband in every county in advance of the roll out of the fibre to the home network. As of 22 January, 255 publicly accessible BCP sites have been installed by NBI and the high speed broadband service will be switched on in these locations through service provider contracts managed by the Department of Rural and Community Development. BCP’s are installed at Streete Parish Park and Community Hall, Whitehall Community Centre, Milltown Emper Community Centre and Ballycomoyle GAA Club. Further details can be found at https://nbi.ie/bcp-locations/.
Scoil Náisiúnta Bhride has been installed by NBI for educational access as part of this initiative. My Department continues to work with the Department of Education to prioritise schools with no high speed broadband, within the Intervention Area, for connection over the term of the NBP. In this regard, an acceleration of this aspect of the National Broadband Plan was announced in December which will see some 679 primary schools connected to high speed broadband by 2022, well ahead of the original target delivery timeframe of 2026. Further details are available on the NBI website at https://nbi.ie/primary-schools-list/.
27. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport his plans to roll-out the community involvement scheme for local authorities in 2021; the level of funding that will be afforded for the vital repair of semi-public roads through Tipperary County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4672/21]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of public regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
As the Deputy is aware, the Community Involvement Scheme (CIS) is based on community contributions within the range of 15% to 30% and applies to public roads taken in charge by the local authority. The focus of the programme is on the repair of more lightly trafficked public roads which might not be high on the list of a local authority's annual roadwork programme.
Following the introduction of ring-fenced funding for a CIS programme in 2018, it was decided to provide funding over a two year period 2018/2019 so as to give local authorities more flexibility in delivering this programme. Towards the end of 2019, my Department invited local authorities to submit applications for CIS for another two year programme for the period 2020/2021. Funding will be provided in 2021 to complete the projects provided for in this funding round.
Grant allocations for 2021 will be announced as soon as possible.
28. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the number of times he has spoken with or written to his counterpart in the UK Government and in the Stormont Executive in relation to co-ordinating international travel restrictions to combat Covid-19; the date of each physical and virtual meeting, phone call or letter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4538/21]
View answerI communicate with my Ministerial counterparts in the UK Government and in the Stormont Executive on a regular basis in both structured meeting and direct message / call formats.
Below, I have outlined in tabular form. my engagements with the UK Secretary of State for Transport and the Minister for Infrastructure in the Stormont Executive in which the issue of international travel restrictions to combat Covid-19 was discussed:

29. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport the reason a person (details supplied) who applied for their driver test in July 2020 and has complied with everything requested of them by the RSA has still has not received a date for their test; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4547/21]
View answerWhile this is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority, I understand the RSA are experiencing some operating problems following the launch of their new Driving Test System and Customer Portal. This is due to exceptionally high levels of demand which in turn is increasing call volumes.
My Department raised these problems with the RSA. We have been assured the technical issues are gradually being resolved and the Authority have put extra resources in place in their call centre. My Department will continue to monitor the operations of the RSA, while having regard to their statutory competence.
Due to the current Level 5 restrictions driving tests are only availalbe for essential workers.
30. Deputy Marian Harkin asked the Minister for Transport his plans to make the driver theory test available online during the current Covid-19 pandemic; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4621/21]
View answerMy Department had previously requested that the Road Safety Authority, as the body legally responsible for the driver theory test, examine whether theory tests can be taken on line remotely and what is required to do so.
I am pleased to inform you that the Driver Theory Test service has recently launched a pilot phase of a new initiative, which offers a Remote Testing service for specific categories of Theory Test (C, D, CD, BMT, TMT, ADI, CPCB, CPCT).
During the pilot phase Remote Testing will be available on a limited basis and extra capacity will be added as it is rolled out to allow more customers to sit their bus, truck, CPC or ADI Theory Test online. Remote Testing allows candidates to test from their home or another suitable environment once the minimum requirements for the service have been met.
Following a review of the pilot phase, I understand the RSA expect the initiative to be extended for car and motorcycles.
The RSA are keen to progress and extend the service to all categories of Driver Theory Test, however scaling up operations to facilitate higher numbers will take time to achieve.
31. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he has considered a further extension of TaxSaver tickets due to the severe Covid-19 travel restrictions currently in place; the cost to date of the existing extension; the estimated cost of a further extension; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4729/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for regulating fares charged by public transport operators. The issues raised by the Deputy concerning the taxsaver initiative are matters for the relevant transport operators in conjunction with the NTA.
I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
32. Deputy Denise Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport if all local authorities have been formally briefed on the National Maritime Oil and HNS Spill Contingency Plan which has recently been published; and if not, if he will consider ensuring briefings are carried out with officials and council members in the coming weeks. [4732/21]
View answerIn June 2020, my Department published the National Oil & HNS Spill Contingency Plan (NCP) as required under Section 8 (1) under the Sea Pollution (Amendment) Act 1999. Within that month, my Department issued two communications in relation to the publication of this document and the statutory requirements for each Port and Local Authority under this plan. The pending establishment of the National Maritime Pollution Response Committee (NMPRC) and Consultative National Maritime Pollution Response Forum (CNMPR) in the first half of this year will also include representation of Ports and Local Authorities. Both the Committee and Forum will be key supports in the successful implementation of the national plan.
My officials have been in regular contact with the relevant organisations with regard to the future development of an online system for submission of their individual plans. Further correspondence is to issue week beginning 1st February in relation to the requirements for individual plans and the process going forward. All correspondence has been issued electronically due to the restrictions in place as a result of COVID-19.
33. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Transport if the NDLS will be allowing for the extension of driver licences given the latest level 5 Covid restrictions; if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties persons are having with only being able to renew their driver licences online at this time and that those without access to a computer cannot seek assistance at their local library or any of the other usual places they would seek help; if he will engage with the NDLS to allow for an extension to driver licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4841/21]
View answerDue to the resurgence of Covid-19 in Europe as well as Ireland, the possible extension of driving licences is currently under consideration at EU level. A decision on this issue is expected shortly.
Due to the pandemic and the establishment of safety protocols in the workplace, the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) has experienced unprecedented demand on its services and customers can expect a considerable delay.
In order to mitigate this delay and address online issues that some people are encountering, all those 70 years and over whose licence or permit is due to expire will receive a renewal pack in the post and be invited to submit an application by post.
In the meantime, the Road Safety Authority is continuing to work with their providers to see how they can increase capacity within the NDLS while adhering to safe-working guidelines.
34. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport the reason a person (details supplied) cannot have a driver test rescheduled. [4875/21]
View answerThis is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.
35. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Transport when additional measures will be implemented to restrict travel into Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4903/21]
View answerGovernment policy on international travel is aimed at reducing and managing the spread of Covid-19.
Government agreed further measures in relation to international travel at its recent meeting, and these were subsequently annonuced by the Taoiseach and are available on the Government's website.
https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/e2374-extension-of-level-5-restrictions-and-introduction-of-measures-for-international-travel/.
36. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Transport the measures in place at ports including all known small ports and piers to monitor international travel and ensure that passengers coming here from overseas self-isolate for the recommended amount of time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4964/21]
View answerThe extent to which the public, including arriving passengers, are advised to self-isolate, restrict their movements, adhere to other public health measures or undertake Covid-19 testing, is based on the advice of the public health authorities. My Department assists with the implementation of public health measures in relation to international travel, as decided by Government following relevant advice.
As you know, the Government continues to advise against non-essential international travel and that any essential travel is undertaken with due regard to public health safety measures.
With effect from 16 January 2021, all passengers arriving into Ireland (unless exempt) are required to have evidence of a negative or ‘not detected’ result from a pre-departure Covid-19 RT-PCR test that was carried out no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Ireland. Passengers are asked to present evidence of their negative/‘not detected’ result before boarding their ferry or aircraft and will be denied boarding if they cannot produce such evidence or do not claim to fall into an exempt category. Exemptions from the requirement to undergo a pre-departure test include international transport workers such as hauliers, airline and maritime crew. Children aged 6 and under are also exempt from this requirement.
Passengers who arrive into an Irish port or airport without the required evidence, and who are not in an exempt category, commit an offence and may be subject to prosecution, punishable by a fine not exceeding €2,500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both. Enforcement of the Regulations are a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau, who undertake checks on arriving passengers at Irish ports to ensure they are in compliance with the Regulations. In relation to harbours and piers, it is a matter for the relevant authorities to ensure compliance with health guidance and requirements.
I am sure you are also aware that my colleague, the Minister for Health, introduced a passenger locator form last year, which every passenger arriving to Ireland is legally required to complete, and has put a system in place whereby follow up calls and texts are made to passengers who arrive in Ireland to ensure they are residing at the address they have provided. It is an offence to provide false or misleading information on a passenger locator form.
The Government is keeping all measures relating to international travel under review in order to adapt them to the evolving Covid-19 situation.
37. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Finance his plans to continue the Covid restrictions support scheme in view of the continuing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on businesses; if he will consider increasing the amount of compensation to 20% rather than 10%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4783/21]
View answer44. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider a review of the Covid restrictions support scheme to allow businesses that are not public facing such as catering businesses that deliver to homes and private events only; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4642/21]
View answer45. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Finance the reason he has no plans to extend the types of businesses that are eligible for the Covid restrictions support scheme; his views on the effect this is having on businesses that are omitted from this scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4651/21]
View answer47. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Finance if he is considering expanding the eligibility criteria for the Covid restrictions support scheme to allow businesses that are impacted by the restrictions but do not ordinarily operate from a fixed business premises to apply for the scheme (details supplied). [4660/21]
View answer51. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Finance if he plans widening the scope of the Covid restrictions support scheme to cover more businesses and to increase the payment to ensure as many businesses as possible survive the Covid-19 crisis in view of the continuing lock down and the effect of same on businesses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4823/21]
View answer56. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that charity shops operating in the retail sector selling clothes and other items are ineligible for the Covid restrictions support scheme; his plans to review same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4901/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 37, 44, 45, 47, 51 and 56 together.
The CRSS is a targeted support for businesses significantly impacted by restrictions introduced by the Government under public health regulations to combat the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The support is available to companies, self-employed individuals and partnerships who carry on a trade or trading activities, the profits from which are chargeable to tax under Case I of Schedule D, from a business premises located in a region subject to restrictions introduced in line with the Living with Covid-19 Plan.
Details of CRSS were published in Finance Act 2020 and detailed operational guidelines, which are based on the terms and conditions of the scheme as set out in the legislation, have been published on the Revenue website at: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/press-office/budget-information/2021/crss-guidelines.pdf.
To qualify under the scheme a business must, under specific terms of the Covid restrictions, be required to either prohibit or significantly restrict, customers from accessing their business premises to acquire goods or services, with the result that the business either has to temporarily close or to operate at a significantly reduced level. For the purposes of CRSS, a qualifying “business premises” is a building or other similar fixed physical structure in which a business activity is ordinarily carried on.
It is not sufficient that the trade of a business has been impacted because of a reduction in customer demand as a consequence of Covid-19. The scheme only applies where, as a direct result of the specific terms of the Government restrictions, the business is required to either prohibit or restrict access to its business premises. Where a business supplies goods or services to businesses in the hospitality industry which, under the specific terms of the Covid restrictions, are required to prohibit or significantly restrict customers from accessing their business premises (for example pubs and restaurants), it will not result in the supplier business being eligible to make a claim under CRSS. Each business must meet the qualification criteria in their own right. Similarly caterers or event organisers who provide services away from their business premises are not eligible for the scheme.
Businesses whose trading profits are not chargeable to tax under Case I of Schedule D do not meet the eligibility criteria for CRSS.
A charity shop that is not chargeable to tax under Case I of Schedule D will not qualify for CRSS. This includes a charity shop that has been granted charitable tax exemption status because it is exempt from paying corporation tax or income tax on any income received where the income is used for its main charitable purpose.
The CRSS is just one of the Government’s supports to assist businesses impacted by COVID-19. Businesses who are not eligible for CRSS may be entitled to alternative supports put in place by the Government, including the COVID Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) and the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS). Businesses may also be eligible under the Debt Warehousing Scheme to ‘park’ certain VAT and PAYE (Employer) liabilities, excess payments received under the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS), outstanding balances of self-assessed Income Tax for 2019 and Preliminary Tax for 2020. I have no plans to change the eligibility criteria for the CRSS.
Deputies will be aware that the Dáil yesterday discussed the draft Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (Covid Restrictions Support Scheme) (Percentage Adjustment) Order 2021. This order provides for an increase in the levels of payment to 20% of average 2019 turnover up to €20,000 and to 10% of turnover above that amount for the three weeks beginning 21st and 28th December and 4th January. I have no other plans to vary the rates of payment.
The purpose of the CRSS is to provide additional support to the businesses who have had to close temporarily or significantly restrict access to their premises as a direct result of public health Regulations. The Government will continue to assess the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy and I continue to work with Ministerial colleagues to ensure that appropriate supports are in place to mitigate these effects.
38. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Finance his plans to continue the employment wage subsidy scheme in view of the continued impacts of Covid-19 on businesses, considering that the current restrictions have the potential to severely impact the hospitality sector in particular in 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4784/21]
View answer52. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Finance if he plans to extend the wage subsidy scheme to the end of 2021 in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the effect it is having particularly on the tourism industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4824/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 38 and 52 together.
I am aware of the very serious impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on sectors of the economy, including the tourism and hospitality sectors. However, the reality of COVID-19 is that our whole economy and labour market have been rapidly transformed by this unprecedented shock and nearly all sectors have been negatively impacted either directly or indirectly.
The objective of the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) is to support all employment and maintain the link between the employer and employee insofar as is possible. The Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) has been a key component of the Government’s response to the continued Covid-19 crisis to support viable firms and encourage employment in the midst of these very challenging times. To date, subsidy payments of over €1.5 billion have been made and PRSI relief worth over €270m granted to over 41,600 employers in respect of over 467,000 employees.
I have been clear that there will be no cliff-edge to the EWSS. It is noted that the legislation implementing the measure provides that it will be in place until 31 March 2021, but also provides that the scheme may be extended until the end of June 2021 if required and subject to certain procedural conditions.
It is likely that continued support will be necessary out to the end of 2021 to help maintain viable businesses and employment and to provide businesses with certainty to the maximum extent possible. Decisions on the form of such support will take account of emerging circumstances and economic conditions as they become clearer.
In the meantime, I am satisfied that the design of the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) fully takes account of the changing environment around living with the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19.
For those businesses who may need additional support at this time, I would draw attention to the comprehensive package of other business and employer supports that have been made available since the July Stimulus Plan and Budget 2021 - including the Covid Restriction Support Scheme (CRSS), the Credit Guarantee Scheme, the SBCI Working Capital Scheme, Sustaining Enterprise Fund, and the Covid-19 Business Loans Scheme.
