The second group I mentioned comprises businesses. Many businesses have been saved by the TWSS and the EWSS. Without doubt, they would have closed without those Government interventions. However, many have told me that leaving the EWSS will cause them cash flow issues because they will quickly go from having a great deal of support to none. We need to consider how that will be managed. Has Revenue discussed what will happen with the Department? Is it intended to review what will be done with the EWSS next year?
