The Government is fully aware of the unprecedented impact that the coronavirus is having on business and people’s livelihoods. In this regard a range of measures have been introduced to provide income support to those who need it while also giving confidence to employers to retain the link with employees so that when this crisis passes our people can get back to work as quickly and seamlessly as possible.

This Government is currently finalising the July stimulus package which will set out supportive measures for a wide range of sectors including the hospitality and tourism sectors to ensure that the economy is in a position to recover rapidly while maintaining a stable tax base. Details of the July stimulus package will be announced by Government shortly.
