Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 May 2024)

Pat Casey: I second Senator Malcolm Byrne's proposed amendment to the Order of Business. Given that it is 1 May and that today marks the closing date for the business support grants, it is disappointing to see the level of take-up in this regard. We should possibly be looking into why there has not been more success in respect of the numbers taking up the grants. I say this mindful of the fact that...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Mar 2024)

Pat Casey: The issue I wish to raise today relates to the development levy waiver scheme that the Minister, Darragh O'Brien, introduced last April.
