162. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Transport the current status of an application under the road transporters support scheme (RTSS) in the case of a business operating in County Clare (details supplied) where an information discrepancy error was resolved via the official portal prior to the closing date of 7 September 2026; the reason for the delay in processing this payment given that other active operators within the sector have already received their financial support; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [67172/26]

The application referred to by the Deputy was one of approximately 600 applications that required additional verification of the financial information provided during the initial application window.

My Department has received the information sought in respect of this application, and it is now being processed along with the other applications that required further verification of financial information. While not commenting on the outcome for this particular case, I expect that this group of applicants will receive payment in the coming days, where payment is due.
