EU Covid rescue funds need to go to local businesses asap – Walsh

Desperately needed monies from the proposed EU Recovery Plan need to get to recipients as soon as possible.

That’s the verdict of the Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh.

Last week the European Commission proposed a massive seven hundred and fifty billion euro Covid recovery fund to help EU countries, regions and sectors deal with the economic fallout of the pandemic.

The Midlands North-West MEP says there are plenty of businesses in her constituency that could do with EU help especially those that rely heavily on tourism.  

Out words: tourist destinations
