I am reiterating my support for the tourism industry in respect of the knock-on downstream effects that restaurants, pubs, etc., have faced as a result of the lack of footfall due to accommodation being used to support Ukrainian refugees. There is a serious knock-on effect on footfall in tourist areas, particularly outside Dublin. We need to make sure that in any measures we put in place, all those are covered with supports larger than what is being put in place with regard to rates, which is only for those who pay up to €20,000 in rates per year.
