============================================================

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

Everyone in the House appreciates that the economy has gone through massive change. Not only do we still have more than 100,000 people in receipt of the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, many sectors have been changed beyond recognition and will not come back to where they were. The supports for people getting back to work will be crucial. I would be interested in hearing what the take-up is and whether the Minister has identified gaps that need to be addressed.
