Mr. Adrian Cummins:

I thank the Deputy for her question. This Bill goes a long way towards defining the difference between tips and gratuities and what a service charge is. Service charges also apply in other sectors. This is a point of law and a contractual agreement. Service charges apply to the sale of tickets for entertainment events and also to the sale of tickets for flights and other items that are sold to consumers. They do not only apply in our sector but in other sectors also.
