The new COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS) falls within the remit of the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and further details will be announced by him, including with regard to the legislative timetable.

I am pleased that, unlike the previous Credit Guarantee Scheme, my Department's involvement in the design and structure of this new scheme means that farmers and fishers will be able to benefit from the guarantee scheme, along with all other SME borrowers.
