Yesterday, the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach discussed the wage subsidy scheme in terms of companies that were receiving assistance while also paying out large dividends. I suggest that our committee write to the relevant Departments to ask whether any analysis has been done of companies that are in receipt of supports paying dividends and the scale of same with a view to getting a further and possibly deeper analysis of the value for money for the taxpayers' funds that have already been spent.
