A new tax back scheme is being developed for people who holiday at home this summer.

The 'staycation subsidy' will allow families to reclaim a portion of their hotel or restaurant bill.

The Irish Independent reports that it's being developed in a bid to boost the tourism industry in next week's July Stimulus Package.

It is unclear yet if the if pubs will be included.

A similar scheme was introduced in the UK by Chancellor Rishi Sunak where the government pay up to half of a person's restaurant meal to a maximum of 11 euro as part of Britain's economic recovery plan.
