To date the total expenditure by the Department of Social Protection on the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment since its introduction in March 2020 is approximately €8.3 billion.

The total expenditure to date on the Covid-19 Enterprise Support Grant since its introduction in August 2020 is approximately €8.7 million.

I trust that this clarifies the position for the Deputy at this time.
