Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I will make two points. The Government did consider this issue earlier. I am desperately disappointed and sorry for all of the traders involved. At this critical time as they face into a lockdown, this is the last thing they needed. There are a number of schemes that we will activate to assist the traders and others in difficulty. Obviously, applications will need to be made. I cannot determine here what the precise amount will be.
