Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 March 2021
436. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if advice regarding funding will be provided relating to a matter raised by a person (details supplied). [16870/21]
View answerThe July Stimulus and Budget 2021 provided a significant package of tax and fiscal measures to build the resilience of the economy and to help vulnerable but viable businesses across all sectors. In this context, the Tourism Business Continuity Scheme was launched on 11th February by Fáilte Ireland to help strategic tourism business survive the pandemic and drive recovery. The Scheme will contribute to the fixed costs of identified tourism businesses that are not eligible for CRSS to support their survival. It will provide an equitable level of payment to the CRSS for qualifying businesses and the first phase will cover businesses such as tourism attractions, activity providers, and caravan and camping sites. Fáilte are currently working on further phases of funding.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply to the Deputy regarding any supports that may be available in respect of the situation outlined by the Deputy. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
