On that point, I wish to refer to the transition from the temporary wage subsidy scheme, TWSS, to the employment wage subsidy scheme, EWSS, and the facilitation of payments to employers. TWSS payments were made within 48 hours, but we are seeing major delays of up to six weeks in EWSS payments. This is causing many SMEs and other businesses significant concerns. Mr. Cody mentioned reducing that period for employers who pay staff week or monthly. Has Revenue enacted measures to reduce it? We are hearing concerns on the ground from constituents and businesses.
