The Laois/Offaly TD says the additional funds announced last week will help boost struggling businesses.
The Junior Minister for Finance says he'll push for more money for the midlands if the restrictions are extended.
Laois-Offaly Fianna Fáil TD Seán Fleming says the current supports won't make up for the two weeks of localised lockdown but will help boost struggling businesses.
