Full restoration of wage subsidy scheme needed to navigate new restrictions, says Ibec

The Restaurants Association of Ireland said that the meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, Minister Michael McGrath, and Minister Catherine Martin was "productive and constructive".

Ibec has said full restoration of the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) is needed to sufficiently help businesses through the lastest restrictions.  

The group which represents Irish businesses has said the business community is growing increasingly frustrated with what it perceives as ineffective supports being offered to businesses to navigate Covid challenges.
