Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (29 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: Would it not be more appropriate if the period assessed for employers to qualify for the wage subsidy scheme was the period of the lockdown, from whenever it was to whenever the hotels got back working again? Would it not be more appropriate to look at that period rather than the period from when they opened a couple of weeks ago for the rest of this year? What is happening does not make an...

Danny Healy-Rae: I have already spoken privately to the Minister regarding problems with the payment.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I also support the plight of the coach operators, both the tour and school bus operators. One group of people that have been forgotten is the drivers of these coaches. They got no coronavirus payment because they were seasonal workers, especially the tour bus operators.
