I acknowledge the additional supports provided this week to the 225,000 businesses that are the backbone of our economy. They generate employment and tax revenue, on which the provision of State services is based. In particular, I thank the Tánaiste for the business resumption support scheme, BRSS, which I hope will capture the small number of businesses that have been left out of the Covid restrictions support scheme, CRSS, or the Tánaiste's own scheme for technical reasons. The BRSS is designed in part to support those businesses. While that is fantastic, I urge that they be given additional weight when accessing its funding. I am thinking in particular of catering companies, which have fallen between two stools. I thank the Tánaiste for all his work on the BRSS.

I thank the Deputy. At this stage, I hope that we have managed to cover almost everyone who has been left out of the CRSS with different schemes. We are considering including event catering in the new events scheme, which will be published later this month.

The "B-RSS", "BRSS" or whatever we are going to call it will have a much wider reach than the CRSS. It will be for companies whose turnovers are down by 75% or more, but they will not need to have a rateable premises. It will be based on their turnover, which was the original CRSS concept, now reborn as the BRSS. The details are to be worked out.
