The COVID-19 Online Retail Scheme, administered on my Department's behalf by Enterprise Ireland, supports companies in the indigenous retail sector who have already started an online journey, to further enhance and strengthen their online presence, which will have the most immediate impact enabling them to respond to both domestic and international consumer demand with a competitive online offer.

The call for applications under this scheme closed at 3pm on 28^thSept 2020 and all applications are currently being reviewed by Enterprise Ireland.  Eligible applications will be put forward for assessment in the coming weeks.  Ineligible applicants will be notified once all applications have been reviewed.

Following enquiries made with Enterprise Ireland, I can confirm that an application has been received under Call 2 of this scheme from an applicant referenced by the Deputy.
