Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she will allow late applications to the Covid Restrictions Business Support Scheme for businesses that had applied for the Localised Restrictions Scheme, but were notified of their ineligibility for the latter scheme after 16 December 2020.

The Covid Restrictions Business Support Scheme re-opened for applications on 7 January 2021.
