The very reason the temporary wage subsidy scheme was introduced was to protect jobs and income. It has had a massive effect in doing that. It is possible that employers, because of the financial circumstances they are in and concerns they might have about their viability, may work with their employees in efforts to protect the future of their company and the jobs of people working in that company. They may ask them to take voluntary pay cuts or to make changes to their work arrangements to protect jobs and protect the viability of their company. If that is to be done, it is to be done for one purpose only and that is to keep a job, to keep an employer in operation and to keep a firm in existence so a job is available tomorrow. That is the only reason those changes should be made, and I and the Revenue Commissioner have been clear that if we become aware that the temporary wage subsidy scheme is being used by employers for purposes other than that, they will be subject to enforcement action by the Revenue Commissioner.
