Recommendations concerning the requisite supports were presented to me and I brought them to Cabinet. Everything will be considered, and the outcome will depend on when things reopen. The Government has given the guarantee that there will be no cliff edge cut-off in the supports. These sectors will need support beyond their reopening. We are very aware of that aspect from our engagement with the industry. That commitment exists. It was recognised in the national economic recovery plan that tourism was one of the sectors most impacted. The Taoiseach also flagged this as one of the sectors which will need supports on the path ahead.

Everything will be considered for the supports, not just for reopening but also beyond.
