I will commence by asking about the restart grants. It is fair to say that it is bad enough that they are wholly inadequate and the value is tuppence ha'penny in comparison with what governments in other jurisdictions have given as restart grants. Is it true that the Department has not yet released funding to local authorities in order for them to issue payments for the restart grants?
