Covid-19 (Finance): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-20
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I will use my time to put a few questions to the Minister and I ask him to respond concisely so we will get through as many as possible. On the issue that has arisen about women returning to work from maternity leave not being able to access the temporary wage subsidy scheme, my question is whether it can be fixed on an administrative basis by Revenue. Does it require a change in primary legislation to fix the issue?
