Covid-19 Payments and the Sale of AIB shares: Minister for Finance

The Minister and I have very different views on the attachment of certain conditions to what was initially the TWSS, now the EWSS. Those arguments and policy differences have been well ventilated and well rehearsed. There is one thing that we do agree on, namely, that companies which evidently did not need this level of State support through the wage subsidy schemes should pay it back. Does the Minister have any sense of how many such firms have voluntarily repaid at this point and how much in total has been recovered in this respect?
