Economy Minister Gordon Lyons has confirmed that the High Street Voucher Scheme brought almost 1.4 million shoppers on to Northern Ireland's high streets where they made over 3.7 million transactions.
The pre-paid Spend Local cards worth £100 were issued late last year to help businesses bounce back from set-backs caused by the coronavirus lockdown.
Mr Lyons has published new data on the scheme, run by the Department for the Economy, including the uptake and use of the Spend Local cards along with a breakdown of spending and transactions by local government district and by postcode area.
