If a person has spent €50 on a voucher there should not be a limit on when he or she can spend it. A pub or a shop should not refuse to accept gift vouchers just because it is busy on a Sunday. Retail Ireland and Chambers Ireland are very supportive of a five-year timeline, while Retail Excellence is more supportive of a three-year timeline. Has Deputy Collins given any thought to what happens if a stand-alone, single retailer uses money from vouchers for cash flow?
