People who applied for the COVID-19 welfare payment, should have the money in their account by tomorrow.
The government’s issued an update, as we enter the second full week of isolation measures.
If you had to start signing on last week as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the government says you’ll receive your dole payment by tomorrow.
Those who get social welfare will be moved from a weekly payment to every two weeks, to reduce the need for people to go into the INTREO offices.
Revenue will be keeping us up to date online on a daily basis starting this week too:
Liz Canavan from the Department of the Taoiseach also wants to highlight the issue of phone and email scammers, who are preying on the vulnerable during the emergency:
"Members of the public are receiving phone calls purporting to be from the department and requesting their bank account details.
"You will not get a phone call asking for your bank details from the government.
The government added it was committed to being as ‘open and transparent as possible during the crisis.
A team has been working to develop an interactive dashboard on case data, which will be published online tomorrow.
