Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-16
============================================================

Cathal Berry (IND), Kildare South

I thank the Minister for that very useful response. I have a specific question. I am glad he brought up the hospitality industry. As we all know, there is quite a large fluctuation in turnover in hospitality businesses because of the seasonality associated with their sector. Is it a case that if a hotel, for instance, is not enrolled in the EWSS scheme for the month of December, it is also not eligible for entry to the scheme for January? If it is the case that it is also ineligible with regard to turnover for January, is that something the Minister might wish to consider amending?
