I would like to advise the Deputy that Revenue publish comprehensive statistics on the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS) at the following link:
www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/number-of-taxpayers-and-returns/covid-19-wage-subsidy-scheme-statistics.aspx.
I would draw the Deputy's attention to Table 11 of the 25 June report which breaks down the employees and employers availing of the TWSS by county.
Separately, the Central Statistics Office publishes detailed data on recipients of the COVID-19 income supports, comprising the Pandemic Unemployment Payment and TWSS, alongside data on the Live Register at the following link:
www.cso.ie/en/statistics/labourmarket/liveregister/detailedcovid-19incomesupportandliveregistertables/.
I would draw the Deputy's attention to Table 1 of the TWSS table which includes a breakdown of the employees supported by the scheme by age, and Table 2 which has a breakdown of both age and county.
Both these data sources are updated regularly to reflect the most up-to-date data available.
