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

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I join other Deputies in complimenting the work done by the Minister and her Department in what were very challenging times.
I have no doubt that in the weeks ahead she will be equally up to the task of dovetailing activities in such a way as to ensure a smooth return to work for the people who have been out of work, be they employers or employees, and that such a return will be backed up with a continued payment where necessary and a good liaison between the Department and those affected.
