Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 April 2022
63. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the extent to which priority continues to be given to various enterprises affected by Covid-19 crisis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18760/22]
View answerThe Government has worked to support businesses through these challenging times with a wide range of measures for firms of all sizes, which includes the wage subsidy scheme, business continuity and trading online grants, Restart Grants, COVID-19 Working Capital Scheme, the COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme, the Future Growth Loan Scheme, commercial rates waivers and warehousing of tax liabilities.
The breadth and variety of COVID-19 related schemes to support all kinds of businesses, but particularly small and medium enterprise, through the pandemic has been unprecedented, and their design and delivery has very much been a priority for the government.
Details of such assistance can be found on my Department’s website. I also publish an updated table on the uptake of the range of advisory and finance schemes on this website, which sets out both closed and ongoing support schemes for the information of the public. I attach it here for the deputy’s information.
