Families of healthcare workers who died of Covid-19 while working on the frontline during the pandemic are to receive a €100,000 death-in-service payment from the State, under proposals going to Cabinet.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will seek approval from his Cabinet colleagues on Tuesday for the death-in-service scheme.
It’s understood the payment will be eligible for families who lost a loved one in the first phases of the pandemic and the payment will be tax free.
