Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-18
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I thank the Minister for her reply. Can any indication be gleaned from the information available as to which sectors show the most likely signs of recovering in the earliest stages, be it agrifood, retail or transport? In order to ensure continuity of payment, with the phasing out of one payment and its replacement with employment, at this stage people need to know where they are heading in a fortnight, three weeks’ time or whenever.
