Leo Varadkar writes to every business owner in Ireland Reporter: '); '); The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar T.D. is writing to every registered business in Ireland to thank them for their efforts to date in keeping people safe during the pandemic and to update them on changes to financial supports in light of the reopening. The letter from the Tánaiste, which is issuing to approximately 225,000 businesses registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO), acknowledges the pivotal role businesses have played in keeping people safe. In the letter, the Tánaiste states: “Businesses and employers have made a huge contribution to keeping us safe and now, thanks to your sacrifices, co-operation and the efforts of all our citizens, we are in a position to gradually reopen our economy and society. Our vaccination programme is on schedule. By the end of the week, nearly three million doses will have been administered and we expect to have 2.5 million people fully vaccinated by the end of July. We aren’t out of the woods yet and there will be bumps in the road but there is every reason to be hopeful again."
