Smaller businesses are particularly vulnerable and many have continued to incur costs even while closed.</p> <p> </p> <p>While all of the supports announced are positive and necessary, there will need to be a pivot in favour of more grant-based schemes as well as an extension of the timeframes to at least the end of the 5 phase reopening process. Clarity around eligibility for the 3 month Rates waiver is needed urgently and a suite of additional supports for specific sectors such as hospitality, tourism and retail. We will continue to engage with government, elected representatives and agencies in this regard.</p> <p> </p> <p>It has been great to meet so many of you on our e-Series of events and having a ‘virtual’ full house of 200+ registered for this morning’s Business Breakfast online with Musgrave Group CEO Noel Keeley was fantastic.
