Answer
The Department for the Economy (DfE) would not hold such information.
However, to date, DfE has provided over £370 million of lifeline support to over 30,000 businesses and individuals, and is currently delivering millions of pounds to thousands more. These businesses cover all sectors and occupations throughout Northern Ireland.
