A Waterford Senator says more businesses are eligible to apply for the Restart Grant Plus.
Small and medium sized enterprises affected by Covid can apply for between €4,000 and €25,000 to help them get back on their feet.
Fine Gael's John Cummins says applications are open now:
"The Grant amount has increased substantially. The minimum grant available is now €4,000 up from €2,000 previously. The maximum grant available is €25,000, a significant increase from €10,000 previously.
"More Waterford businesses could now find themselves eligible for this grant than before, and key businesses that received a grant under the first scheme can re-apply to receive additional funding. Non-rateable B&Bs, sports clubs with commercial activities and trading charity shops are now eligible. Previously only small companies could apply for this grant but now medium sized companies are also eligible.
"I encourage all Waterford companies with up to 250 employees to apply through Waterford City and County Council."
