Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-14
============================================================

John Lahart (FF), Dublin South-West

On the Tánaiste's comment on trading through Christmas and until the next tourist season, in what way does he anticipate the environment will be different next spring in terms of the pandemic that will allow businesses that cannot function and trade now, to function and trade then?
What is the Tánaiste's response to the recent comments by Irish Small and Medium Employers, ISME, that the scale and aggressiveness of the business support measures announced by our UK and EU counterparts might serve as a template for Government when it comes to the stimulus package?
