Wage subsidy scheme to be extended beyond mid-June

 

The COVID-19 unemployment payment and wage subsidy scheme will be extended beyond mid-June.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said no decision has been made on how long it will last for or if there will be a rate reduction after next month.
He has also told the Dáil it is possible that the Coronavirus arrived in Ireland late last year or early this year, earlier than first thought.
