Impact of Covid-19 on the Hospitality Sector: Discussion
Mr. Adrian Cummins:
From the point of view of the restaurant sector, we have carried out very detailed analysis of our industry.
A total of 50% of businesses have built up a huge amount of debt with their landlords since they closed and we feel they are on the verge of collapse. We need the business supports to be continued and doubled. We want to be very clear that we are very appreciative of the supports we have received to date but we want to make sure these businesses are intact when allowed to reopen under public health advice.
