Mr. Waldron makes a valid point that, while for many PAYE workers, the €350 PUP might be enough to keep them ticking over, for someone in the taxi industry who is self-employed, that €350 should be going towards them being sustained but, in fact, they have to use it to cover some of the costs of their business.

I turn to the restart grant that is available for self-employed people. I understand that, as of yet, there is no process for taxi drivers to apply for the restart grant. There were some indications yesterday in the stimulus package that it would be done through the Intreo office. Has there been any engagement between the Tánaiste's Department and the witnesses' organisations as to how taxi drivers can apply for that grant?
