Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-30
============================================================

Sean Fleming (FF), Laois-Offaly

I understand what is being said. As I indicated, we are not proceeding on a sector-by-sector basis. The July stimulus includes a suite of measures covering approximately 50 items, eight or ten of which are included here. We will discuss legislation covering other matters tomorrow, and we already discussed a number of matters earlier in the week. Some of the Government measures take the form of grant schemes that do not require legislation. We are taking an economy-wide approach and asking people to take advantage of other measures in their sectors. They are not confined to this particular measure. It is only one of a suite of available options. I am not in a position to accept the proposed recommendation.
