Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta as na beannachtaí. Le dul siar go dtí an iarratas ar eolas maidir le maoiniú i gcomhair Covid-19 ón Teachta Ó Snodaigh, tá an tAire, Teachta Catherine Martin, agus mé féin ag plé lenár gcomhghleacaithe sa Rialtas faoi láthair chun tacaíochtaí breise a sholáthar don Ghaeltacht mar chuid den phacáiste mhí Iúil atá le fógairt an tseachtain seo.

To return to the question asked by Deputy Dillon, Údarás na Gaeltachta encourages investment in the Gaeltacht to arrange financial and non-financial incentives for new and existing enterprises. The organisation also facilitates access to the services provided by IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and LEOs in Gaeltacht areas. As is the case with LEOs, these schemes are provided until the budget is exhausted. Given the hype and demand, an additional budget allocation of €600,000 was recently announced for Údarás na Gaeltachta to continue its online trading scheme. I will reply in further detail during the next round of questions.
