Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business

Mr. Neil McDonnell:

From our point of view it was a very worthy and long plan but it also seemed very laboured. I can tell the Deputy in terms of small premises, for example, it is written in the plan that there will be isolation rooms. The simple reality in the case of a one-room corner store is if a colleague or staff member feels sick, he or she will have to go home. It is that simple. We share advice with businesses on how they will comply with the plan, but clearly it was not derived with very small businesses in mind.
