The Taoiseach Micheál Martin will meet the hospitality sector today, to discuss the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme.

It's after the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party passed a motion on Wednesday night to reverse cuts to the scheme.

The Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath will also attend the meeting, after it was cut by up to 147 euro per week for each staff member.

General Manager of Twelve Hotel in Galway, Fergus O'Halloran, says as they no longer qualify for the EWSS, the start of next year will be hard.

"We have a month to get things correct for next year, and that's where I'm coming from is that for January, February, March and April next year, my business is no longer eligible for a WSS.

"We are no longer eligible for any support because we have exceeded that 30% threshold."
