Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2024
189. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of businesses, broken down by each local authority area in the State, that registered for the increased cost of business grant by close of scheme, as a percentage of all eligible or estimated eligible businesses, to date, in tabular form. [23785/24]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, I announced the reopening of the ICOB grant scheme from May 15th until May 29th. This is to ensure those business owners who missed the deadline can now register. They should do so without delay as the sooner they register the sooner the Local Authority can verify the information and make a payment to businesses.
I have made a change to the scheme that now allows for a second payment to be made to businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors or a double payment for businesses in those sectors now registering.
As the scheme is still open until 29th May I attach the following table as at 1pm Monday 27th May:
