Additional supports for businesses announced by Government.
Tacaíochtaí breise do ghnóthais fógartha ag an Rialtas.
The Government announced in the evening that the latest Covid-19 restrictions will provide additional supports to businesses in the hospitality and arts sectors which are affected by it.
D’fhógair an Rialtas tráthnóna go mbeidh tacaíochtaí breise á gcur ar fáil do ghnóthais san earnáil fáilteachais agus san earnáil ealaíon atá thíos leis de bharr na srianta covid 19 is deireanaí.
It is intended to relax some of the rules relating to the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme and the Covid Restricted Support Scheme in order to provide relief to these businesses.
Tá sé i gceist cuid de na rialacha a bhaineann leis an Scéim Fóirdheontais Pá Fostaíochta agus an Scéim Tacaíochta Srianta Covid a mhaolú le teacht chun fóirithinte ar na gnóthais sin.
Further businesses will also be allowed to defer their tax liabilities for three months.
Beidh cead freisin ag tuilleadh gnóthas a gcuid dliteanas cánach a chur ar atráth go ceann trí mhí.
In addition, the commercial rates of the first quarter of the new year will be pardoned for these businesses.
Chomh maith leis sin, maithfear rátaí tráchtála na chéad ráithe den athbhliain do na gnóthais sin.
The Pandemic Unemployment Payment will be available again for people who are about to lay off or have already been laid off.
Beidh an Íocaíocht Dífhostaíochta Phaindéime ar fáil arís do dhaoine atá le leagan as obair nó atá leagtha as obair cheana féin.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to apply for the payment from now until Christmas Day.
Meastar go ndéanfaidh na scórtha mílte daoine iarratas ar an íocaíocht as seo go Lá Nollag.
As a result, low – cost loans will be made available to start – ups struggling with the constraints.
Ar a dhroim sin arís, cuirfear iasachtaí ar chostas íseal ar fáil do ghnóthadóirí atá ag streachailt leis na srianta.
The loans will be provided by banks and other financial institutions with the support of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
Is iad na bainc agus forais eile airgeadais a chuirfeas na hiasachtaí ar fáil le tacaíocht ón Roinn Fiontar, Trádála agus Fostaíochta.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar stated that all these support measures are in line with, or better than, the assistance given to business people during the period of intensive locking.
Mhaígh an Tánaiste Leo Varadkar go bhfuil na bearta tacaíochta seo uile ar aon dul leis an gcúnamh a tugadh do lucht gnó nuair a bhí dianghlasáil i bhfeidhm sa tír, nó níos fearr ná é.
The Irish Restaurant Association has welcomed the Government’s announcement.
Tá fáilte curtha ag Cumann Bhialanna na hÉireann roimh fhógra an Rialtais.
