Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

As I said, €10 million has been identified for the comprehensive programme of supports. The key element is that I have written to Fáilte Ireland to see if there is scope for a specific business support scheme similar to the supports we provided during Covid. We cannot devise a scheme based on anecdotal evidence. If the Deputy is aware of businesses such as activity providers or tourism experiences, he should ask them to engage directly with Fáilte Ireland. Last week, I asked Fáilte Ireland to get back to me within four weeks so that response will be provided in three weeks. It is key that businesses engage with Fáilte Ireland in order that we can devise a scheme, if one is identified as needed, and have the evidence to do so.
