I propose to take Questions Nos. 127, 134, 137, 144, 161, 165 and 167 together.
I am advised by Revenue that the number of employers and employees currently being supported by the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) is as provided in the table below. This reflects payslips filed with Revenue by employers for November 2021, the most recent month for which complete data exists.
In respect of the COVID Restrictions Support Scheme (CRSS), I am advised by Revenue that 22,100 businesses (covering 25,500 unique premises) have claimed under the scheme since commencement. The table below includes the numbers of businesses supported by the CRSS, broken down by county.
The Business Resumption Support Scheme (BRSS) is a recently introduced support for businesses impacted by COVID-19. Registration for BRSS opened on 6 September 2021 and the closing date for applications was 30 November 2021. I am advised by Revenue that as of 9 December 2021, 2,150 businesses with 2,300 trades have availed of BRSS. The table below includes the number of businesses supported by the BRSS, broken down by county.
