The aid will be assessed on the basis of a Business Sustainment Project Plan which should also outline measures undertaken or planned to improve energy efficiency. The overall aid under this measure will not exceed €500,000 and will typically be provided on a co-funded basis, the minimum aid award is €20,000.
Measure 2 will provide aid for additional costs due to exceptionally severe increases in natural gas and electricity prices experienced by energy-intensive businesses (with spend greater than 3% of turnover on energy) which have suffered a 15% decrease in operating surplus in 2022 compared to 2021, and doubled per unit cost of gas/electricity. The aid will be in the form of direct grants and the overall aid per undertaking will not exceed 30% of the eligible costs up to a maximum of €2 million, the minimum aid award is €20,000. Applicants will be required to demonstrate measures undertaken or planned to improve energy efficiency.

On 15 March 2022, the government approved an emergency support measure – the Licensed Haulage Emergency Support Scheme. The Scheme provided support of €100 per week, for 8 weeks, for each eligible heavy goods vehicle (HGV) authorised on the licence of a road haulage operator as of 11 March 2022.
The Scheme was administered by the Department of Transport. On 19 May 2022, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan and Minister of State with special responsibility for haulage and logistics Hildegarde Naughton announced the extension of the closing date for receipt of completed applications to close of business 6 June 2022.
Over €15 million has been paid out under the Scheme to nearly 3,000 licensed operators. Further eligible applications received prior to the closing date will be processed and final payments will be made shortly.
