I move amendment No. 102:

In page 26, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following: “Report on Covid Restrictions Support Scheme

12. The Minister shall, within two months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the operation of the Covid Restrictions Support Scheme, its eligibility criteria and its accessibility for businesses throughout the supply chain of sectors impacted by Covid-19 restrictions.”.

This amendment deals with the accessibility to suppliers. We have had a thorough debate on this area while discussing the preceding 90 amendments so I do not intend to discuss it any further. However, I want to give the committee notice that I will press this amendment because I know this session has to finish in 20 minutes. The Chair might direct us later if the debate is still going on and we do not have time to vote on it. I know Deputy Boyd Barrett has an amendment grouped with this one.
