Failte Ireland, the country’s national tourism authority, will develop and administer the Tourism Business Continuity Scheme, funding for which was secured in the country’s 2021 Budget.
It will support tourism businesses that were ineligible for the country’s Covid Restrictions Support Scheme and previous Failte Ireland continuity grant schemes.
The first phase of the scheme will get under way on 11 February, Failte Ireland chief executive Paul Kelly confirmed on Monday (1 February), coming after what he described as "the most challenging year tourism has ever faced".
