Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2021-04-28
============================================================

Marian Harkin (IND), Sligo-Leitrim

I want to ask the Minister if, even now, she will put in place Covid-specific supports for the local print media sector.
The Government rightly put Covid supports in place for the local radio sector. It was badly needed and it has made a real difference. Why has a similar Covid-specific fund not been put in place for local newspapers, many of which are hanging on by their fingernails?
