Amharc ar fhreagra77. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the amount of funding issued to individual businesses for the restart grant by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17325/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 76 and 77 together.
The Restart Grant scheme is just one part of the wider €12bn suite of measures for firms of all sizes, which includes grants, low-cost loans, write-off of commercial rates and deferred tax liabilities, all of which will help to improve cashflow amongst SMEs. This package is a significant step-up in assistance available for all businesses in all sectors at this very difficult time. The measures have been developed to meet the varying needs of Irish enterprise and they are very specifically targeted by size, sector and need and are targeted at vulnerable but viable companies.
As of 17 July 2020, the Restart Grant scheme has received a total of 42, 766 applications across 31 local authorities nationwide. A total sum of €115,271,677 has been disbursed to businesses, with a further €12,761,690 approved and pending payment.
