Estimates for Public Services 2020
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-30
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

If the Deputy wants to go over the details of the restart grant, which have been provided to her, 34,000 businesses have claimed it so far but only €61 million has been drawn down. This Estimate, if passed today, will provide €250 million. That still leaves the best part of €180 million to be drawn down.
We are not dealing with the July stimulus plan today. That will require a further Estimate down the road. We are examining matters such as an extension to the wage subsidy scheme, an extension of the rates waiver, improvements to the existing loan schemes - and I know some people understandably feel that the terms are too short-----
