I propose to take Questions Nos. 119 to 121, inclusive, together.
There are 50 companies in the Mid West Region who are receiving 651 subsidies under the First Call of the Employment Subsidy Scheme. These subsidies are supporting the retention either directly or indirectly of 3,772 employees.
Specifically in relation to County Clare, 26 applications were received under the First Call of the Employment Subsidy Scheme. 22 of these applications were successful and 4 companies were unsuccessful. 3 companies were unsuccessful as their applications had incomplete financial documentation and 1 company was deemed not successful by the Assessment Team, as it did not meet all of the eligibility criteria for the scheme.
