In light of the current public health crisis relating to Covid-19, and as part of the Centre for Cross Border Studies’ ongoing research into the impact of the virus on the island of Ireland and the connections between the two jurisdictions, this paper outlines the main ranges of supports that have been introduced to date to help businesses in the two jurisdictions of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland deal with the aftermath of the pandemic and its consequences for business.

It focuses on the key supports announced by the Irish Government, Northern Ireland Executive and UK Government. The list of supports is not exhaustive and will be updated as and when new supports become available/are identified.

The paper has been authored by Maureen O’Reilly, Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Cross Border Studies.
