Junior Enterprise Minister Dara Calleary says it's too early to give a commitment that the government can provide state funding to help those affected by the Longford fire.
Gardai are still investigating the cause of the blaze and haven't ruled out foul play.
It happened in the early hours of Sunday morning. Several million euro worth of damage was caused, 13 businesses have closed and over 60 people are out of work.
