Answer
The Chancellor has recently announced an extension to the Coronavirus Job Retention (Furlough) Scheme until the end of September 2021.
This scheme, along with other initiatives introduced by the UK Government and the Executive, has provided invaluable support to all sectors and occupations throughout Northern Ireland during this unprecedented time.
