Peadar Tóibín: It has stabilised at a quarter of a trillion euro.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: A quarter of a trillion euro has a phenomenally significant impact within society. That money is owed as a State, in large part because of the decisions that have been made. On another related issue, what efforts is the Government making to recoup wage subsidies and supports that were paid to firms that made profits and paid dividends in this period of time? Again, all of this money comes...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The Government imposed the longest and most severe Covid restrictions in the EU. It shut schools, businesses, building sites, healthcare facilities and society for longer than any other country in the EU. In many ways, the scars of the shutdown are only becoming apparent. My question is to find out the total value of the wage subsidies provided between 2020 and 2021.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (22 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I agree that the funds provided by the Government have been absolutely necessary. There is no question about that. If a government is going to shut down a business and prevent its owner from making a living, it has to provide an income to that owner so he or she can live.
