The government is also looking at what is being done in other countries.

The wage subsidy scheme may be extended beyond October in a bid to help the hospitality sector in particular.

Leo Varadkar has said the government is still examining ways to support businesses in the July stimulus package, which will be launched next week.

The Tánaiste has said they're also looking at what's being done in the UK and other countries.

''Our approach may be a different one, we may decide that the best way to protect jobs is to continue the wage subsidy scheme beyond October'', he said.

''When you talk about what different countries do I think you have to look at it in the round.

''And the focus that we've taken to date is the wage subsidy scheme because that's the most effective way to keep people in work and targets those businesses most affected''.
