Mr. Niall Cody:
The figures for liquidation and business closures in 2020 and 2021 were historically low. Deputies will be aware that some businesses will not reopen as a result of the pandemic. Some people will have retired. Some country pubs with elderly owners in my home county of Kilkenny have not reopened. They are probably not viable places to raise a family. The support schemes kept some of those pubs going for a while. The committee members are probably more aware than I am that some of them have not reopened.
