My question relates to the temporary wage subsidy scheme and how it relates to applications for short-time work. I have clarified with the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection that people who are working 30% of their hours and in receipt of the temporary wage subsidy scheme can apply for short-time work. That has been made clear, but employers are not signing the UP14 form. This is happening in the aviation sector and in Aer Lingus. Can the Tánaiste and the Government provide clarity to the employers to sign that form and let the workers take their chances with their Intreo office on that application?
