Given that the Taoiseach raised Covid supports, it is reported that the Cabinet has agreed to start to cut the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, from the end of June. Could he comment on whether that is the direction of travel in terms of Government policy on the PUP? What would he say to all of those who have been made unemployed as a result of the pandemic, some who cannot go back to work because of public health restrictions that may still be in place at that time when it is planned to cut the payments?
