Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I am aware of the specific instance raised by the Deputy. The hotel in question received a substantial payment last week and we are looking into measures that can be taken to complete other elements of the payment the hotel is owed. My Department has processed a significant number of payments. We are paying €30 million to €35 million per week at present but I recognise that we are still working through a backlog. The amount we are paying per week is increasing significantly. We have taken on a significant number of extra staff from within my Department and we have also contracted in a significant number of additional staff so that we can continue to grow the amount we are paying per week. We will follow up further on the specific instance raised by the Deputy.
