There have been a wide range of measures taken by government to provide support for business during the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, through my Department and others.

Depending on the respective eligibility criteria for each relevant measure, a business may have qualified for various supports including the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme, the COVID Restrictions Support Scheme, the Small Business Assistance Scheme for COVID (SBASC), the BRSS, and sector-specific measures such as business continuity grants and the lower VAT rate, which have all been critical in supporting businesses and jobs.

Details of the wide range of supports available are noted on my Department’s website at www.enterprise.gov.ie/en/Publications/Supports-for-businesses-COVID-19.html

Government continues to carefully consider any additional measures required to addresses key priorities for business survival and recovery such as continued business continuity and employee supports.

In relation to the receipt of hospitality sector specific supports my colleague, Minister Catherine Martin TD, Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media may be able to assist you further.
