I also support the plight of the coach operators, both the tour and school bus operators. One group of people that have been forgotten is the drivers of these coaches. They got no coronavirus payment because they were seasonal workers, especially the tour bus operators. If the lockdown had not happened until 1 April, all of them would have been working but they have all been forgotten. Their stamps are gone and they have nothing to look forward to this winter. I appeal to the Taoiseach to ensure that those drivers get the coronavirus payment of €350 because they are well entitled to it.

I call the Taoiseach to speak now to wrap up this matter, please.

I thank all the Deputies for raising the issues of coach and bus companies and how they have suffered as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The temporary wage subsidy scheme has been a major benefit to many sectors, including this sector, to enable people to stay intact.

They got no payment.

Let me finish. The restart grant is now up to €25,000 and is also available for those businesses. The rates relief is now fully expanded, is of six months duration, and is also an available support, as is the facility to offset any loss this year, in tax terms, against profits of last year. All of that, added up, will help. There is also a facility to refinance, for lower interest and longer terms, through the credit guarantee scheme. Critically, in the job stimulus programme a €10 million fund has been put aside specifically for this sector. The Minister with responsibility for transport will design a specific scheme to support the coach operators from hereon in. If one takes all of the existing supports together with the additional ones that were announced in the July stimulus package, which are significant, they represent a significant lifeline to companies to stay intact and operating. In addition to all of that, there is the €10 million scheme, which will be available through the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and we will talk to the Minister to ensure that he engages with the industry.

What about the drivers? Who will look after them?

The seasonal workers have been included in the new employment subsidy scheme. They were not included in the older-----

They are not working yet.

I call on Deputy Healy-Rae not to interrupt.

That is because they are not working.

That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. Some 16 Deputies have not been reached and will be given priority tomorrow. We are way over time at this point.
