NI Localised Restrictions Support Scheme: Businesses to get up to £3,200

Finance Minister Conor Murphy has announced a new financial support scheme – the NI Localised Restrictions Support Scheme – for NI businesses subject to restrictions across all 11 council areas.

 

 

Making the announcement about the NI Localised Restrictions Support Scheme, Finance Minister Conor Murphy said, “I recognise the profound impact the new restrictions will have on businesses forced to temporarily limit their operations.

Payments doubled for Derry and Strabane businesses

“Following the additional funding the Executive received of £200m I have doubled the payments announced for the Derry and Strabane District Council area.

“This new scheme will apply to all council areas and for many businesses payments will be made promptly using information held by Land & Property Services.
