I am advised by Revenue that it has not received any engagement from the persons in question regarding eligibility for the Covid-19 schemes administered under its remit. Revenue has also confirmed that the persons are not registered as employers and as such do not qualify for either the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS), which ceased on 31 August 2020, or the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS).

It may be that the Deputy is referring to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP), which is the responsibility of the Minister for Social Protection.
