Ibec: Businesses need €15bn rescue package to survive Covid-19 fallout

The next government must set aside another €15bn of exchequer funds to help the country’s businesses recover from the Covid-19 crisis and adapt to the new reality of living once it passes, according to Ibec.

That money – which is in addition to the billions of euro worth of supports already committed - needs to be invested this year and next, it said.
