I suggest that the federation, having accepted there is a problem 30 nights of the year, could be in danger of losing the golden egg, as Senator Reilly called it. All political parties have had huge discussions about the lower VAT rate that applies to this sector. It has been suggested that the rate could be maintained outside the greater Dublin area. Mr. Fenn has accepted it is a problem that exorbitant prices are charged 30 nights a year. Why would the federation not try to address that problem?
