I welcome the Covid-19 business aid scheme, CBAS, which the Tánaiste launched, to deal with people who may have fallen between two stools as regards the CRSS and other such supports, but a number of firms have contacted me who still fail to qualify as they do not rent a rateable business. I refer to where storage is carried out at home and a lot of contact is done over the telephone and the Internet, and also in cases where a business has rented premises but it is within a non-rateable building within a community centre. Could we look at the possibility of assisting some of the businesses if I give the Tánaiste the details, given that the intent of the scheme is to catch those who have fallen between two stools?
