Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

Impact of Covid-19 on the Tourism Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Kelly:

First, I do not have a figure in that regard because the closing date for many businesses was extended until the middle of November and we are still working through those applications. Importantly, we opened the scheme for pubs that do not serve food. The closing date for those premises is not until 18 December, so we will be taking applications until just before Christmas. It will only be in the new year that we will have some sense of how much has been drawn down.
