TWSS anomalies
Deputy Doherty accepted Senator Casey’s point about anomalies in the temporary wage subsidy scheme and said she would raise the issue with the Minister for Finance and encourage further appeals.
I will bring the Senator's feedback back. I think it is a logical request.
Senator Casey brought up the anomalies in the temporary wage subsidy scheme, TWSS. I did not realise it was that large. Given that it is on that large a scale, I definitely think the Minister for Finance should do something. I will write a letter but I ask other Senators to make appeals on behalf of our own local enterprise centres and all the businesses impacted by it. We certainly did not put a huge pot of money out there for people then to deny them access to it. Let us try to get that fixed.
Senator Dolan opened with a very lovely welcome for H. E. Maura Healey, who is coming to see us next week, which I am very much looking forward to.
