Farmers and fishers are among the groups who can benefit from a new low-cost Covid loan scheme launched by Government.
Small and medium size businesses can apply.
The loans of between €25,000 and €1.5 million include terms of one to six years, while unsecured credit is available up to a loan amount of €500,000.
Businesses can qualify if at least 15% of turnover or profit has been impacted by the pandemic.
