Doherty calls for further supports for people out of work due to Covid-19 pandemic

Pearse Doherty has written to the Finance Minister calling for the government to add further supports to those who have lost jobs and businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Sinn Féin finance spokesman's seven page letter to Paschal Donohoe, urges the minister to take a tougher stance with Irish banks, which he says have "failed to keep promises that they would offer mortgage-payment breaks to affected customers, despite statements to the contrary from Government".
