Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has said that the Pandemic Special Recognition Payment will be paid to eligible frontline healthcare workers in their next available payroll.

The pandemic bonus, which will range from €600 to €1000, will be paid "as soon as possible to those who are confirmed as eligible", he said, "subject to local processes".

In a statement, Mr Donnelly said the necessary circulars to activate the payment have been finalised, and will be published by the HSE early next week.

The Government had announced last January that frontline public sector healthcare workers would receive the bonus – which will not be subject to tax - to recognise their unique role during the pandemic.
