Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-22
============================================================

Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

My question also pertains to the live events sector so I ask the Minister to excuse me while I ask it again and elaborate on further issues in the follow-on questions. It is to ask the Minister for Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to calls from the live events sector to reinstate the pandemic unemployment payment at a full rate per week for those workers in view of the fact that the sector is closed or dramatically reduced under the public health advice.
