Sinn Fein Doesn't Believe The Replacement For The Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme Will Keep People In Jobs

They say the Government has an obligation to do so

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said it will be replaced from Tuesday by a new initiative which will run until the end of March 2021.

The maximum subsidy allowed will fall from 410 euro to 203 each week - while there will be a lower rate of just over 150 euro for lower paid employees.

Sinn Fein's Finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty says they need to give more support to businesses not allowed to open
