The ICOB and Power Up grant schemes paid out over €400 million to SMEs across the country in 2024.
During the Power Up registration period the Department became aware of issues in relation to businesses who misclassified their business sector were subsequently ineligible for the grants.
In order to address this, the Government has approved an appeals process that will give those businesses in the retail, hospitality and beauty sectors that were not eligible for ICOB and the Power Up grant because of the misclassification issue, an opportunity to register for those grants.
Once the appeals process is concluded, the names of the recipients will be published on the website of each local authority.
