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.

Will Goodbody, Business Editor, reports that today is the last day for people to register for the Pandemic Unemployment Payment.

University students who received the pandemic unemployment payment while out of work during the Covid-19 crisis may now lose out on third-level grants. Many students have been unable to find summer work and had no choice but to accept the Pandemic Unemployment Payment. Unfortunately that payment is coming against them in relation to their SUSI grant because last year's PUP income is being added to the family income. This is putting many over the threshold under in order to get the SUSI grant. On Tuesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke with Clare Fianna Fail Senator - Timmy Dooley who raised the matter in the Seanad and to John Fortune - Vice President Southern Region, Union of Students Ireland.

Plean Náisiúnta Eacnamaíochta fógartha ag an Rialtas. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the Covid-19 pandemic has done a lot of damage that needs to be rectified. Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin go bhfuil go leor dochair déanta ag an bpaindéim covid 19 a chaithfear a chur ina cheart. Launching the Government's National Economic Plan, he argued that no other crisis had ever had such a profound effect on the country outside of the great world wars of the last century. Agus Plean Náisiúnta Eacnamaíochta an Rialtais á sheoladh aige, mhaígh sé nach raibh éifeacht chomh mór seo riamh ag aon ghéarchéim eile ar an tír taobh amuigh de na cogaí móra domhanda an céad seo caite. We need to make progress now, he said, in creating employment and tackling urgent societal issues. Caithfear dul chun cinn anois, a dúirt sé, fostaíocht a chruthú agus dul i ngleic le ceisteanna práinneacha sochaíocha. The Taoiseach said that "over € 3.5 billion in expenditure supports" and "just under € 1 billion" from the European Union 's rehabilitation fund have been included in the National Economic Plan. Dúirt an Taoiseach go bhfuil "os cionn €3.5 billiún i dtacaíochtaí caiteachais" agus "beagán níos lú ná €1 bhilliún" ó chiste athshlánaithe an Aontais Eorpach curtha san áireamh sa Phlean Náisiúnta Eacnamaíochta. He hopes this funding will boost employment, he said. Tá súil aige go gcuirfidh an maoiniú seo bíogadh i gcúrsaí fostaíochta, a dúirt sé. The Taoiseach confirmed that the Pandemic Unemployment Payment will continue to be issued but will begin to be phased out from September. Dheimhnigh an Taoiseach go leanfar den Íocaíocht Dífhostaíochta Phaindéime a thabhairt amach go fóill ach go dtosófar á laghdú de réir a chéile ó mhí Mheán Fómhair. He also announced that homeowners built since 2013 will now have to pay property tax. D'fhógair sé chomh maith go mbeidh ar úinéirí tithe a tógadh ón mbliain 2013 cáin mhaoine a íoc feasta. In terms of business, Micheál Martin indicated that commercial supports will be extended until the end of the year and that businesses will be allowed to apply for enhanced reopening payments. I dtaca le cúrsaí gnó de, thug Micheál Martin le fios go gcuirfear síneadh go dtí deireadh na bliana le tacaíochtaí tráchtála agus go mbeidh cead ag gnóthais cur isteach ar íocaíochtaí feabhsaithe athoscailte. The number of businesses allowed to apply for these payments is set to increase, he said. Tá líon na ngnóthas a bhfuil cead acu cur isteach ar na híocaíochtaí seo le méadú, a dúirt sé. The commercial rate exemption for business will also be extended by three months and the special rate of Value Added Tax for the hospitality sector will continue until September 2022. Cuirfear síneadh trí mhí freisin leis an díolúine a tugadh do lucht gnó maidir le rátaí tráchtála agus leanfar den ráta speisialta Cháin Bhreisluacha don earnáil fáilteachais go dtí Meán Fómhair 2022. There are also a number of supports for artists, especially performing artists. Tá roinnt tacaíochtaí le cur ar fáil freisin d'ealaíontóirí, go háirithe dó lucht taibhealaíon. Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin criticized the Government's decision to extend the property tax. Cháin urlabhraí tithíochta Shinn Féin Eoin Ó Broin cinneadh an Rialtais an cháin mhaoine a leathnú. He said the property tax is not progressive or fair as a policy and should be abolished altogether. Dúirt sé nach bhfuil an cháin mhaoine forásach ná cothrom mar pholasaí agus gur cheart fáil réidh leis go hiomlán.
